Creates a new federal task force to better fight dangerous synthetic narcotics like fentanyl.
This bill would create a new federal task force to better fight dangerous synthetic narcotics like fentanyl. This task force would bring together many government agencies to investigate and prosecute large-scale drug trafficking. It would especially target foreign groups involved in the opioid trade. The goal is to improve how federal agencies work together to reduce substance abuse and deaths.
Today, many government agencies work separately to combat the opioid crisis. There isn't a central group to coordinate their efforts effectively. If this bill becomes law, it would create the Joint Task Force to Counter Illicit Synthetic Narcotics. This task force would bring together representatives from over a dozen federal agencies. Its role would be to direct and coordinate investigations, prosecutions, and tactical actions against large-scale illicit synthetic narcotics trafficking, including targeting foreign entities.
