Caribbean Basin Security Initiative Authorization Act

This bill authorizes $74.8 million annually (2023-2027) for the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative to support security and rule of law efforts in 13 Caribbean nations, including Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago. The initiative combats crime and gangs through maritime security, border control, anti-corruption programs, youth crime prevention, and disaster resilience training, while also addressing foreign interference from authoritarian regimes. It requires the State Department and USAID to submit an implementation plan within 180 days and annual progress reports to Congress, detailing how funds will be used to achieve specific security and resilience goals in each country.
