IL HR0384

Illinois General Assembly urges President Trump and Congress to fully fund federal drug control programs that support local law enforcement efforts against drug trafficking and use.

Resolution cites Illinois drug overdose rate of 13.1 per 100,000 residents, with 2,300 drug-related deaths in 2016 including over 1,800 opioid-related deaths.

Opposes proposed 95% cut to the Office of National Drug Control Policy and calls for continued funding of high-intensity drug trafficking programs and drug-free communities support initiatives.

Directs delivery of resolution to President Trump, congressional leadership including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker Paul Ryan, and all members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation.
