New Bill Would Force Tech Companies to Report Fentanyl and Meth Sales to the Department of Justice
Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
Small tech companies that operate messaging apps, social media platforms, cloud storage, or other electronic communication or remote computing services would face new legal obligations to report drug crimes they discover. They'd need to build compliance systems, train staff, and risk criminal fines up to $190,000 for a first offense or $380,000 for repeat violations if they knowingly fail to report. For small platforms with limited legal and compliance budgets, this could be a significant burden.
