HR 172

This bill aims to restrict federal funding to injection centers – facilities where people inject drugs under medical supervision – by aligning with existing federal law. Specifically, it prohibits the use of federal funds for entities operating these centers if they violate the Crack House Statute, which generally prohibits facilities used for unlawful drug use. The bill seeks to limit federal support for what its proponents consider to be enabling drug use. It focuses on preventing the use of taxpayer dollars to support these types of facilities.
