The Stop Injection Sites for Illegal Drugs Act of 2022 bars the use of federal money for any state, local, tribal, or private organization that runs an injection center that violates the Controlled Substances Act’s “crack house” provision. The bill only allows funding to continue for entities that receive COPS or Byrne grant program funds. It affects governments and private groups that might operate supervised injection sites.

Key Provisions

  • Prohibits federal funds from being provided to any entity that operates or controls an injection center in violation of the Controlled Substances Act’s “crack house” statute (21 U.S.C. 856).
  • Allows an exception: federal funds may still be used for entities that receive grants under the COPS program or the Byrne program despite operating such a center.
  • Defines the COPS grant program (under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968) and the Byrne grant program (also under the same act).
