Stop Pills That Kill Act

It would also require the Drug Enforcement Administration to develop a plan to combat counterfeit fentanyl and methamphetamine through law enforcement and prevention efforts, and require the Department of Justice to annually report on how much counterfeit fentanyl and methamphetamine law enforcement seizes and how many related prosecutions occur.[AI-Generated]
