H. R. 6744 — To Prohibit the Use of Federal Funds for Local Substance Use Disorder Services (117th Congress)
Summary
H. R. 6744, the PIPES Act (Preventing Illicit Paraphernalia for Exchange Systems Act), was introduced in the House of Representatives on February 15, 2022, by McKinley (for himself and other members) and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. It would amend section 2706 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 so that no funds appropriated in that section are used to purchase sterile needles or syringes for the hypodermic injection of any illegal drug, or to procure, supply, or distribute pipes or other paraphernalia that can be used to smoke, inhale, or ingest narcotics. A subsection (2) exception covers elements of a program other than those purchases, under conditions the text sets out.
