AI Summary

This bill amends the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998 to enhance efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking and related drug issues. The bill requires High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) to submit annual reports detailing fentanyl seizures, law enforcement data, and substance abuse trends. It also mandates HIDTA programs to report any limitations in meeting their goals and provide recommendations for improvement. The legislation authorizes $333 million in funding for fiscal years 2025-2030 and expands the scope of HIDTA's activities to include assisting federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement in fentanyl interdiction. Furthermore, the bill directs the Attorney General to make investigative and prosecutorial resources available specifically for investigating and prosecuting fentanyl and fentanyl-related substance trafficking organizations and individuals. This includes a process for temporarily reassigning assistant United States attorneys to prioritize fentanyl-related cases from 2024 to 2030, with the possibility of extension for ongoing investigations. The bill, known as the "Fight Fentanyl Act," aims to strengthen national efforts to combat the fentanyl crisis by providing more resources, data collection, and targeted law enforcement strategies.
