Stop Injection Sites for Illegal Drugs Act of 2022
This bill generally prohibits federal funds from being made available to a state, local, tribal, or other entity that operates or controls an injection center (i.e., a medically supervised injection site) in violation of the federal statute commonly known as the Crack House Statute. The statute generally prohibits making facilities available for the purpose of unlawfully using a controlled substance.
The bill provides an exception for federal funds awarded through the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant program or the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. Specifically, federal funds awarded through the COPS grant program or the JAG grant program shall remain available to a state, local, tribal, or other entity that operates or controls an injection center in violation of the Crack House Statute.
