Drug dealer bill seeks stiffer penalties and asset seizure
The Violent Crime and Drug Enforcement Improvement Act of 1982 would raise penalties for convicted drug smugglers and expand asset forfeiture.

The measure, led by Thurmond and Biden, mirrors a bill by Chiles and Nunn and targets independent operators in drug trafficking.
