21 U.S.C. § 2332: Authorization of…

Summary

Gives the Treasury Secretary whatever money is needed for fiscal year 2020 to run the Treasury activities required by this chapter. From the money already set aside for 2020 for Defense drug-interdiction work, the Defense Secretary may move $5,000,000 to the Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking so the Commission can do its duties, even if another rule (section 2215 of title 10) might otherwise stop that transfer. The Treasury money must add to other funds and not replace them. That money cannot be spent until 15 days after the President tells the appropriate congressional committees he plans to do so. “Appropriate committees of Congress” means the following Senate committees: Armed Services; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; Foreign Relations; Select Committee on Intelligence; Judiciary; and Appropriations; and the following House committees: Armed Services; Financial Services; Foreign Affairs; Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence; Oversight and Reform; and Appropriations.
