CBW Fentanyl Act

This bill sets up a system of punishments, called sanctions, against foreign countries when people connected to their governments are involved in programs that produce or spread chemical or biological weapons or certain chemicals used to make fentanyl, and those actions cause harm to another country. The sanctions get tougher over time if the foreign country doesn't fix the problem, starting with blocking the purchase of goods from that country's chemical or biological industries, then potentially cutting off certain foreign aid, and finally blocking financial transactions tied to that country. The President can temporarily pause the sanctions if it's important for national security, and must end them once the harmful behavior has been addressed.
