Creates a new Joint Task Force to Counter Illicit Synthetic Narcotics (JTF–ISN) to lead, coordinate, and carry out federal efforts against fentanyl and other illicit synthetic drugs. A Senate‑confirmed Director oversees strategy, operations, and regular reports to Congress, including a 2‑year plan and budget priorities.
The task force can coordinate investigations, prosecutions, sanctions, and joint operations with federal, State, territorial, Tribal, and local law enforcement, including actions targeting foreign suppliers and networks linked to the People’s Republic of China. It cannot target people for personal drug use or low‑level dealing that is not connected to larger trafficking networks.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
