Bill Summary
A bill to require a study and report on Coast Guard interdiction of illicit drugs in the transit zones, and for other purposes.

AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a study to identify gaps in resources that contribute to the low interdiction rates for maritime non-commercial smuggling of illicit drugs into the United States from Central America and South America. The bill notes that the Coast Guard seizes a significant amount of cocaine and marijuana in the transit zones of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Southern maritime border approaches, but interdicts less than 10% of such smuggling due to the need to balance asset allocation across its 11 statutory missions. The study's findings must be reported to Congress within one year.
