Key Points

This resolution officially supports National Fentanyl Awareness Day to teach people about the dangers of fake pills. These pills often look like real medicine but contain deadly amounts of fentanyl.
The goal is to protect young people and families. Drug traffickers use social media to sell these fake pills, and fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans under age 55.
Law enforcement found that half of the fake pills they tested had enough fentanyl to kill a person. In 2025 alone, police seized over 47 million of these pills across all 50 states.
The resolution also thanks police and government agencies for their work in stopping the spread of these drugs. It encourages them to use their current powers to keep more fake pills off the streets.
