Show full summary
- Families and youth would see stronger prevention work. The bill orders audits of current campaigns like One Pill Can Kill and asks agencies to tailor education toward teens and young people.
- Law enforcement and prosecutors would get a broader legal toolset. The bill expands prohibited conduct to explicitly cover fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and counterfeit substances, which targets pills that mimic other products.
- Federal agencies must plan and report to Congress. The DEA must create an operations and response plan within 180 days and the Attorney General must submit a report within 1 year and then annually with data on seizures, pill breakdowns, locations, charges, convictions, and prevention steps.

Stronger rules to stop counterfeit pills
If enacted, this bill would add fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and counterfeit substances to an existing federal drug prohibition. It would define a "counterfeit fentanyl or methamphetamine substance" as a product that contains fentanyl, a fentanyl analogue, or methamphetamine and is sold under another product's name, mark, or imprint. The DEA would have 180 days after enactment to make and start a national operation and response plan to address these counterfeit substances. The plan would direct federal law enforcement to investigate and seize fake pills, increase education and prevention (including work for youth and teens), and audit public campaigns like "One Pill Can Kill."
