Bill > S3618

This bill, titled the "No Fentanyl on Social Media Act," requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), also referred to as the "Commission," to produce a comprehensive report within one year of its enactment. This report, to be submitted to Congress and made public, will detail how individuals under 18 years old, or "minors," can access fentanyl, which includes fentanyl analogues and related substances, through social media platforms. The FTC will collaborate with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration to examine the prevalence of fentanyl access for minors on these platforms, the associated health and safety risks, how drug sellers use social media to market and distribute fentanyl, and how platform design influences this access. The report will also assess current measures taken by social media companies, law enforcement, and medical professionals to combat this issue and will include recommendations for Congress. The FTC is mandated to consult with various stakeholders, including parents, social media companies, and law enforcement, during the report's development, with provisions for redacting information that could compromise law enforcement tactics.
