CLEAN Pacific Act of 2025

This legislation establishes the Pacific Counternarcotics Initiative , a program designed to assist specific Pacific island nations, referred to as beneficiary countries, in their efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking. The primary goal is to improve and increase the rates at which listed chemicals, crucial for drug production, are seized and destroyed. This includes alleviating backlogs of chemicals awaiting destruction and ensuring the environmentally safe disposal of hazardous waste generated by illicit drug activities. The initiative also focuses on preventing seized chemicals from re-entering illicit production streams, freeing up storage space, and reducing environmental impact. It aims to enhance the capabilities and infrastructure of law enforcement in these countries, promoting international cooperation through training, interoperable systems, and shared equipment. The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretaries of Defense and the Attorney General, is mandated to develop a comprehensive 5-year implementation plan for each beneficiary country, including timelines, budgetary projections, and measurable benchmarks, with annual progress reports submitted to Congress.
