## Summary

**Designates a National Fentanyl Awareness Day in 2026 to spotlight the danger of counterfeit fentanyl pills for families and youth.** The resolution lists findings that traffickers mass-produce fake pills that mimic prescription drugs and that five of every ten fentanyl-containing pills tested contain a potentially lethal dose. It cites more than 47 million counterfeit pills seized in 2025 and nearly 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, equal to over 369 million lethal doses, and about 70,000 drug-induced deaths in the 12 months ending October 2025. It encourages law enforcement efforts and the use of existing authorities to prevent the spread of counterfeit pills.
