What this bill would do
This bill is titled the Eliminate PRC Organized Crime Act. It creates a new program through the Secretary of State to help law enforcement agencies in Latin America and the Caribbean crack down on criminal groups linked to the People's Republic of China. The assistance can include consultations, training on financial crimes, technical support, and vetting programs to keep foreign agencies uncompromised. The bill also allows the Secretary of State to provide this help to countries that failed international counternarcotics agreements if it is in the national interest of the United States. Finally, the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State must submit a detailed report to Congress within one year regarding the assistance provided and criminal activities.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Section 2, subsection (c)(1) allows for consultations between foreign law enforcement and U.S. Federal, State, and local law enforcement. This is positive because it shares real-world U.S. experience in investigating and prosecuting these criminal groups.
-
Section 2, subsection (c)(2) provides training on financial investigations, money laundering prosecution, and asset forfeiture. This could benefit the public by helping foreign agencies crack down on the money side of organized crime.
-
Section 2, subsection (c)(4) supports vetting and screening programs for foreign law enforcement agencies. This is a good safeguard to ensure that the foreign agencies receiving help are not compromised by the criminal groups they are fighting.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Section 2, subsection (d)(1) allows the Secretary of State to give assistance to countries that have failed to follow international counternarcotics agreements if it is deemed in the U.S. national interest. This could be viewed negatively by citizens who want tax dollars withheld from countries that do not pull their weight in fighting drug crimes.
