Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would redirect money seized from drug cartels and proceeds from asset forfeitures under federal drug laws to fund substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery services. Specifically, it allows funds taken from cartels that produce or distribute opioids like fentanyl to go toward a federal block grant program that supports states in addressing substance use disorders. The legislation affects drug enforcement agencies, which would allocate seized assets differently, and individuals struggling with addiction who could benefit from expanded treatment services. No specific funding amounts or timelines are provided in the bill text. The measure was introduced in August 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee and Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.
