States that the Director shall approve the strategy of the campaign and all advertising. Directs the Director to request that the Partnership for a Drug-Free America: (1) recommend strategies addressing national, regional, and local drug threats; and (2) create all advertising to be used in the media campaign, with certain exceptions. Modifies provisions pertaining to the use of funds, including to state that no funds other than out-of-pocket production costs and talent reuse payments may be used for the creative development of advertisements except in specified circumstances. Requires the receipt of no cost matches relating to substance abuse prevention prior to any disbursal of funds for advertising time or space. Declares that any donated advertising material shall not be subject to sponsorship identification provisions in the Communications Act of 1934. Requires the Director to carry out an examination of campaign records and an audit of the costs of the campaign, in accordance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949.
