Bill > HR8316

This bill, the Securing America's Borders Against Fentanyl Act, would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to research additional technologies to detect illicit fentanyl and its precursors, especially in counterfeit pressed tablets. It would also establish a program for DHS to collect data and develop metrics to measure how current technologies and strategies used by DHS, Customs and Border Protection, and other agencies have helped detect, deter, or address illicit fentanyl and its precursors at and between land, air, and sea ports of entry. The bill would require biennial reports on these findings and a Government Accountability Office (GAO) evaluation of the data and metrics used in the reports. Additionally, the bill would amend the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act to require the development of performance measures and targets for region-specific supplemental strategies, such as the Southwest Border, Northern Border, and Caribbean Border Counternarcotics Strategies, to evaluate the effectiveness of interdiction efforts at and between ports of entry, interdiction technology, intelligence sharing, diplomacy, and other appropriate metrics.
