AI Summary

This bill, the FENTANYL Results Act, prioritizes the efforts of the Department of State to combat the international trafficking of "covered synthetic drugs" - which includes synthetic controlled substances like fentanyl and "new psychoactive substances" that are not currently controlled under international drug conventions. Key provisions include: supporting increased data collection and sharing on drug use, engaging with international drug agencies, providing assistance to build the capacity of foreign law enforcement agencies, and establishing an exchange program for personnel to develop expertise on demand reduction. The bill also amends the International Narcotics Control Strategy Report to require more detailed information on synthetic opioids and new psychoactive substances. Additionally, the bill expresses the sense of Congress that the U.S. should advocate for more transparent assessments by the International Narcotics Control Board and that international cooperation is essential to combating the trafficking of these substances.
