overdose rate in this country, if we reduce the supply and availability of illicit drugs
23 December, 2019 \u2013 For Immediate Release
The Georgia Council on Substance Abuse supports the Significant Transnational
Criminal Organization Designation Act\u00a0and congratulates U.S. Senator David
Perdue (R-GA) for taking action to impose severe consequences on drug cartels.
\u201cThere are two important considerations that we must have in mind as we try to
solve the problem of substance use disorders (SUDs) and drug misuse in this
country. One is demand reduction, which includes activities\u00a0such as primary
prevention, addiction treatment and recovery supports. The other consideration is
supply reduction, and the Significant Transnational Criminal Organization
Designation Act\u00a0falls into that category,\u201d said Neil Campbell, Executive Director of
the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse.
The bill allows the federal government to impose immigration, financial, and
criminal penalties on the most significant Transnational Criminal Organizations
(TCOs), including:
\uf0b7 Barring organization members and their immediate families from admission
to the United States;
\uf0b7 Freezing the organization\u2019s assets; and
\uf0b7 Levying civil and criminal penalties against individuals who assist the
organization.
\u201cWe will only realize a strong measure of success in combating SUDs, including the
overdose rate in this country, if we reduce the supply and availability of illicit drugs. We
should have a strong and rapid response to organizations seeking to profit from making
drugs \u2013 legal or illegal \u2013 more accessible.\u201d said Campbell.
