What this bill would do
This bill establishes the Pacific Counternarcotics Initiative to assist specific beneficiary countries with counterdrug interdiction efforts. The program aims to help these countries increase the seizure and destruction of listed chemicals while clearing backlogs of chemicals and hazardous waste. It also seeks to reduce the environmental impact of drug-related waste and prevent chemicals from being reused in illegal drug production. Additionally, the initiative promotes international law enforcement through training, shared equipment, and improved infrastructure. The Secretary of State will implement the plan in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General.
