AI Summary
This bill, the Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act of 2023, requires the Secretary of Defense to develop a strategy to use existing authorities to target, disrupt, and degrade threats to national security caused by fentanyl trafficking. The strategy would outline how the Department of Defense can leverage existing counternarcotics and counterorganized crime programs to detect and monitor fentanyl trafficking, support interdiction operations, coordinate efforts across air, land, and maritime domains, engage with foreign security forces to build capacity to interdict fentanyl, and evaluate policies and resources related to countering fentanyl trafficking. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit a report on law enforcement reimbursement for counternarcotics and counterorganized crime operations on the southern border, as well as a report on efforts to enhance cooperation with the Mexican government to target and degrade transnational criminal organizations involved in fentanyl trafficking.
