Increases federal support and oversight aimed at fentanyl and related substances by boosting funding for High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) programs, expanding permissible HIDTA activities to include interdiction, and adding new HIDTA reporting requirements on spending and seizures. Requires the Attorney General to provide temporary prosecutorial resources and establish a process and timetable to reassign prosecutors to support fentanyl-related cases.
The bill directs $333,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2025–2030 to these efforts, strengthens transparency on HIDTA spending and seizures, and creates a mechanism for quicker federal prosecutorial support to federal/state/local investigations and prosecutions involving fentanyl and related substances.
