Tougher rules on counterfeit fentanyl pills
This bill would expand criminal rules to explicitly cover fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and counterfeit substances. It would define a counterfeit fentanyl or methamphetamine substance as a product that contains fentanyl (or an analogue) or methamphetamine and that is sold or labeled like another product. The bill would require the DEA to create an operational response plan within 180 days to help federal agents investigate, seize these substances, and review prevention campaigns such as "One Pill Can Kill." It would also require the Attorney General to report to Congress within 1 year and every year after on seizures, pill-form breakdowns, where and when seizures happened, what drugs were present, and related charges, convictions, and prevention efforts.
