Report on minors getting fentanyl online
This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission to produce a public report about how people under 18 can get fentanyl through social media. The report would be due not later than 1 year after enactment and must be sent to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The report would study seven topics, including how common access is, health and safety risks to minors, how sellers use and deliver fentanyl on platforms (including pressed pills), how platform features affect access, platform policies and their effectiveness, other law enforcement and treatment efforts, and recommendations for Congress. The FTC would have to consult parents, platforms, law enforcement, medical and treatment experts, and researchers, and it could redact law‑enforcement-sensitive details in consultation with the Attorney General. The bill would also define key terms like "minor," "fentanyl," and "social media platform."
