Encourage increased law enforcement collaboration between CBSI beneficiaries and Haiti – a country that is on the brink of collapse.
Latest Action: Senate - 03/03/2025 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. This bill has the status Introduced.
Sponsor: Sen. Kaine, Tim [D-VA] (Introduced 03/03/2025). Latest Action: Senate - 03/03/2025 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. This bill has the status Introduced.
The bill says it would "advance law enforcement and justice sector capacity building" and requires an implementation plan that includes "an assessment of steps taken... to increase regional coordination and collaboration between the law enforcement agencies of beneficiary countries and the Haitian National Police."
Assessments
Kaine materially advanced the promise by sponsoring S.820 in March 2025, and the bill text specifically called for increased law enforcement collaboration between CBSI beneficiaries and Haiti. But the measure remained only introduced and referred to committee, with no recorded enactment or implementation. Under the scoring rule, that is a serious legislative attempt without delivery.
Sen. Kaine explicitly sponsored S.820 (Caribbean Basin Security Authorization Act) and his March 6, 2025 press release states the bill would 'encourage increased law enforcement collaboration between CBSI beneficiaries and Haiti.' Congress.gov shows the bill was introduced on March 3, 2025 and referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with no further action (status: Introduced). Because the proposal was not enacted or implemented and remains at introduction, the promise was not delivered. Sponsoring the bill constitutes a serious legislative attempt, so effort_badge is true. Delivery timing is unknown since it has not passed.
