H.R. 4031 would authorize the State Department and USAID to run the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative in 13 Caribbean countries. The initiative would support crime prevention, law enforcement and justice systems, efforts against corruption and organized crime, cybersecurity, and preparation for natural disasters. The bill would also require plans, measurable progress targets, and yearly reports to Congress.
If enacted, the initiative could provide training, equipment, and other support in participating countries. Its programs would address public safety, opportunities for at-risk youth, justice services, and disaster readiness. The bill does not guarantee specific results for residents.
The bill authorizes $88 million per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 for the initiative. This is authorization of funding; the text does not state how much would ultimately be spent.
