Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and 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.
H.R. 2194, the Ending Drug Trafficking in Our Communities Act, reauthorizes and expands the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program, which coordinates federal, state, and local law enforcement efforts to combat drug trafficking in designated high-crime regions. The bill allocates $400 million annually to the program for fiscal years 2026 through 2031. It also requires the Director of National Drug Control Policy to identify and develop "promising practices"—effective strategies and programs—that can be shared across all HIDTA regions, with a focus on investigating drug traffickers responsible for overdose deaths, coordinating responses to drug crimes involving firearms, and implementing evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs. This legislation affects federal drug enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement partners, and communities experiencing significant drug trafficking problems.
