Bill overview
This bill aims to prevent federal money from being used to support injection sites, which are facilities where people can use drugs under medical supervision. It specifically targets injection centers that operate in a way that violates the ‘Crack House Statute,’ a federal law that generally prohibits providing places for illegal drug use. The bill seeks to limit the availability of federal funds to these types of facilities, arguing they are inconsistent with federal drug policy. It is named the ‘Defund de Blasio’s Injection Sites Act of 2021’ referencing a similar initiative in New York City.
