More drug detection for nitazenes
If enacted, this bill would add "nitazenes" to the Department of Homeland Security's list of substances to detect. It would direct DHS's Science and Technology Directorate to work with the Drug Enforcement Administration to develop better tools to detect, identify, and disrupt nitazenes at very low concentrations. The bill would not provide new funding or create new programs. Labs, first responders, and DHS partners could be asked to test for or report nitazenes. The change would take effect upon enactment.
