Bill > S1728

This bill, the Dark Web Interdiction Act of 2023, aims to prohibit the delivery of opioids through the dark web, which is a portion of the internet that provides anonymity and enables criminal activities, such as the sale of illegal drugs, weapons, and other illicit goods. The bill establishes the Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement Task Force within the Federal Bureau of Investigation to detect, disrupt, and dismantle these illicit marketplaces on the dark web. The bill also requires the Attorney General to report on the use of virtual currencies in the distribution of opioids through these dark web marketplaces and provides for periodic updates to the definition of the "dark web" to address evolving technologies.
