Evidence-Based Drug Policy Act of 2025

This bill deletes a specific part of a federal drug policy law from 1998. The short title says it’s meant to support “evidence-based” drug policy, which suggests a focus on strategies that are proven to work. The exact section being removed is section 704(b)(12) of that law. The text only states that this section is repealed and does not explain what that section contained.

Key points:

• What changes: Removes one subsection of the 1998 national drug control policy law.
• Who is affected: The federal office that coordinates national drug control policy and agencies that follow its guidance.
• Why it matters: The title signals an intent to base drug policy on research and proven results, but the bill text gives no further details.
