CLEAN Pacific Act of 2025

This bill creates the Pacific Counternarcotics Initiative, a program to help partner countries find, seize, and destroy chemicals used to make illegal drugs. It also helps those countries safely dispose of the hazardous waste from drug labs, reduce storage backlogs, and keep seized chemicals from being reused. The program supports training, shared equipment, and better communication systems between U.S. and foreign law enforcement to improve cross-border teamwork.

Within 90 days of becoming law, the State Department must send Congress a plan with timelines, a five-year strategy for each country, clear benchmarks, roles for the State and Defense Departments and the Justice Department, and steps to address security gaps and corruption. Annual results reports would continue for five years, including how much of these chemicals were destroyed each year. Funding would come from existing foreign assistance funds for drug control efforts.

• Who is affected: U.S. agencies working with partner countries’ law enforcement; communities facing drug trafficking and related pollution abroad and at home.
• What changes: New program to boost seizures and safe destruction of drug-making chemicals, reduce environmental harm, and improve international coordination and training.
• When: A detailed plan is due within 90 days of enactment, with yearly progress reports for five years.
