DISPOSE Act

The DISPOSE Act authorizes the U.S. State Department, in coordination with Defense and Justice, to fund the destruction of seized drug precursor chemicals in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. It requires an implementation plan with specific timelines, budget projections, and measurable benchmarks to clear chemical backlogs, prevent re-entry into drug production, and ensure environmentally safe disposal. The plan must include annual progress reports to Congress detailing destroyed chemicals and program outcomes. Funding comes from existing International Narcotics Control programs, with no new appropriations needed.
