Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act

Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act

The Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act is a United States federal law enacted on April 30, 2003. A substantially similar Act was proposed during the previous Congress as the Reducing Americans' Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act (RAVE Act).

Legislative history

The RAVE Act was originally sponsored by Senator Joseph Biden, who was also the writer of the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act. Biden attached the legislation as a rider to the bill creating the popular AMBER Alert system, in order to get it passed without debate.
