S 1520 United States Senate · 118th Congress

CRACK Act of 2023

This bill prohibits federal funds allocated for substance use disorder treatment from being used to purchase or distribute pipes or cylindrical objects intended for smoking illegal scheduled drugs. It directly affects federal treatment programs receiving funding, requiring them to avoid using these funds for such items. The key mechanism is a specific restriction on the use of federal dollars, not a ban on the pipes themselves. The bill does not change drug laws or criminal penalties but limits how treatment funding can be spent. (3 sentences)
