STOP Fentanyl Deaths Act of 2018 Surveillance and Testing of Opioids to Prevent Fentanyl Deaths Act of 2018
AI Summary
This bill, the Surveillance and Testing of Opioids to Prevent Fentanyl Deaths Act of 2018 (also known as the STOP Fentanyl Deaths Act of 2018), aims to address the usage of illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, by establishing several programs. It authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to federal, state, and local agencies to establish or operate public health laboratories that can detect fentanyl, its analogues, and other synthetic opioids. It also directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to enhance its drug surveillance program by expanding it to all 50 states and territories, and by increasing the collection of data on fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. Finally, the bill establishes a pilot program for state or local agencies to conduct point-of-use testing of illicit drugs for dangerous contaminants.
