Bill > HR9093

This bill, the Homeland Security Fentanyl Enforcement Act, aims to empower Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to counter drug smuggling by transnational criminal organizations. It does this by amending the Controlled Substances Act to grant special agents of HSI and designated state, tribal, and local law enforcement officers the same powers as Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents in enforcing the Act. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review the deconfliction policies and practices between the DEA and HSI, and to report on the impact of the new authority granted to HSI and any recommendations to modernize deconfliction policies between the two agencies.
