S.548

Caribbean Border Counternarcotics Strategy Act requires a federal strategy to prevent drug trafficking through the Caribbean into the U.S.

The Caribbean Border Counternarcotics Strategy Act amends the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998 to mandate a comprehensive federal strategy targeting drug trafficking through the Caribbean region into the United States. This strategy must outline federal efforts to prevent drug trafficking via ports of entry, between ports, and across air and maritime approaches. It also includes specific roles for relevant agencies, recommendations for additional law enforcement assistance, and measures to reduce drug-related violent crime in Puerto Rico and the U.S.
