Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
More funds and authority to fight fentanyl
This bill would authorize $333 million each year for fiscal years 2025 through 2030 to fight fentanyl. It would also raise a base amount from $10,000,000 to $14,224,000. The anti-drug office could fund more help for federal, state, local, and Tribal police on fentanyl investigations and seizures. The Director could back other projects that improve fentanyl prevention, seizures, and interdiction. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
More federal prosecutors for fentanyl cases
The Attorney General would provide prosecutors and investigators for fentanyl cases, as practicable. From fiscal years 2024 through 2030, assistant U.S. attorneys could be temporarily reassigned to focus on fentanyl trafficking. Reassignments could be extended to finish active cases. Within 180 days of enactment, DOJ would set a process so HIDTA leaders can request these reassignments.
New fentanyl reporting by task forces
HIDTA programs would need to report each year how they used funds to investigate fentanyl. Reports would list amounts seized and show regional threat data and trends. They would also note limits to meeting goals and recommend fixes, such as more resources, partnerships, or legal changes. This would start upon enactment.
