Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), along with Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA), Tim Scott (R-SC), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Mike Braun (R-IN), Rick Scott (R-FL), Steve Daines (R-MT), Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Kennedy (R-LA), John Boozman (R-AR), Tom Cotton (R-AR), John Thune (R-SD), and John Barrasso (R-WY), introduced the Cutting Rampant Access to Crack Kits (CRACK) Act. The bill would amend Section 2706 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2) to prohibit any funds from directly or indirectly purchasing, supplying, or distributing crack pipes or similar drug paraphernalia.
“I am glad the Biden Administration acknowledges sending crack pipes to our nation’s addicts is a bad idea,” Rubio said. “It is pure insanity to think the federal government would fund crack pipe distribution. This legislation will make certain the program can never pay for crack pipes, and given the Biden Administration’s position I look forward to their vigorous support.”
Earlier this week, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appeared to confirm that part of the $30 million grant program would go toward “smoking kits/supplies,” which frequently includes crack pipes. The Biden Administration reversed course, prompting the outcry of activist groups that argue “pipe distribution is healthcare.”
Washington, DC — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL), junto a los senadores Joni Ernst (R-IA), Tim Scott (R-SC), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Mike Braun (R-IN), Rick Scott (R-FL), Steve Daines (R-MT), Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Kennedy ( R-LA), John Boozman (R-AR), Tom Cotton (R-AR), John Thune (R-SD) y John Barrasso (R-WY), presentaron el CRACK Act. Esta legislación enmendaría la Sección 2706 de la Ley del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense del 2021 (PL 117-2) para prohibir que fondos públicos compren, suministren o distribuyan directa o indirectamente pipas de crack o parafernalia de drogas similares.
“Me alegra que la Administración Biden reconozca que enviar pipas de crack a los adictos de nuestra nación es una mala idea”, Rubio dijo. “Es una locura pensar que el gobierno federal financie la distribución de pipas de crack. Esta legislación garantizará que el programa nunca pueda pagar pipas de crack y, dada la postura de la Administración Biden, espero su apoyo”.
A principios de esta semana, el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS, por sus siglas en inglés) parecía confirmar que parte del programa de subvenciones de $30 millones de dólares se destinaría a “kits/suministros para fumar”, que con frecuencia incluyen pipas de crack. La Administración Biden cambió su curso, lo que provocó la protesta de grupos activistas que argumentan que “la distribución de pipas es atención médica”.
