STOP Act 2.0

This bill updates rules about the electronic data that must be sent ahead of time for international mail packages coming into the United States, building on a 2018 law aimed at stopping dangerous drugs from being shipped through the mail. It makes it a crime to lie about where a package is coming from in order to get around these data requirements, and it removes the ability to let certain countries skip the rules after five years. The bill also requires more reporting on package inspections, allows government agencies to work with private companies to develop better technology for finding fentanyl and other drugs in the mail, and lets the government share information with foreign governments about shippers known for sending illegal substances. It also requires customs officers to be trained in detecting fentanyl and other synthetic opioids and calls for a review of how well the original 2018 law has been carried out.
