Legislative Progress
This bill has support from both parties and addresses a major public concern, but it still needs to pass through the committee process.
Key Points
- This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to create specific goals to track how well they are stopping fentanyl from entering the country.
- Different parts of the department, like Border Patrol and Customs, would have to share more information with each other about where they find drugs.
- The government would have one year to find any problems that stop these agencies from sharing data and to set up new ways to measure their success.
- By creating these measurements, Congress hopes to see which strategies are actually working to keep illegal drugs out of American neighborhoods.
