Summary

Designates August 21, 2026 as Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day to promote public education and community prevention activities against illicit fentanyl. It frames illicit fentanyl as a public health and safety crisis. The text notes fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine and that synthetic opioids accounted for nearly two-thirds of roughly 70,000 overdose deaths in 2025. It also cites more than 8,600 pounds seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as of June 2026 and urges parents, schools, law enforcement, faith groups, and others to promote drug-free lifestyles.
