HR 1355 United States House · 118th Congress

Defund Heroin Injection Centers Act of 2023

This bill prohibits federal funding for any state, local, tribal, or private entity operating heroin injection centers that violate the federal drug law (21 U.S.C. 856, the "Crack House Statute"). It directly affects organizations running such centers by blocking all federal financial support for their operations. The key mechanism is a clear funding restriction: no federal money can be provided to entities operating centers deemed unlawful under existing federal drug law. The bill does not create new criminal penalties but prevents government funding for facilities violating current law.
