Wilson Welcomes House Passage of Anti-Meth Bill March 22, 2007
 
Grant Programs Will Be Accessible to Native American Governments


Washington, DC – Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM) today welcomed House passage a bill sponsored by Rep. Tom Udall (D-NM) and cosponsored by Wilson, to help combat methamphetamine in Indian Country.

The Native American Methamphetamine Enforcement and Treatment Act of 2007 (H.R. 545) allows Native American governments to apply for various law enforcement grant programs.

“Methamphetamine is a scourge, and Pueblos should have the same access as other communities to grants to alleviate the problem,” Wilson said. “This bill makes sure Native American governments can apply for federal funds that Congress sets aside to help fight meth.”

Grants will be available through the COPS Hot Spots program, the Drug-Endangered Children program and the Pregnant and Parenting Women Offenders Program.
