To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for fiscal year 2024.

Bill 118 hr 1989, also known as the "Limitation on Funds for National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Act," aims to restrict the availability of funds for the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) for the fiscal year 2024. The bill seeks to impose a cap on the amount of money that can be allocated to NIAAA for research, programs, and initiatives related to alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

The purpose of this limitation is not explicitly stated in the bill itself, but it is likely intended to control government spending and prioritize funding for other health and human services programs. By placing a restriction on the funds available to NIAAA, Congress may be signaling a shift in priorities or a desire to allocate resources differently within the Department of Health and Human Services.

It is important to note that this bill does not eliminate funding for NIAAA altogether, but rather sets a specific limit on the amount of money that can be spent by the agency in fiscal year 2024. This limitation could have implications for the research, treatment, and prevention efforts related to alcohol abuse and alcoholism that are supported by NIAAA. Overall, Bill 118 hr 1989 represents a decision by Congress to place constraints on the funding available to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for the upcoming fiscal year. The impact of this limitation on NIAAA's work and the individuals it serves remains to be seen.
