What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill brings back a rule requiring the President to send Congress a yearly report naming foreign people and groups involved in trafficking opioids, and it keeps that rule in place through 2030. The report must focus especially on identifying Chinese individuals and organizations that ship fentanyl, related chemicals, or fentanyl-making equipment to Mexico or other countries involved in producing fentanyl that ends up in the United States. The bill also expands who can be punished with sanctions, including anyone who knowingly helped with opioid trafficking through money, supplies, or technology, as well as foreign government agencies and their senior officials who are involved in activities that contribute to opioid trafficking. These sanctions can include blocking property, banning loans, and stopping certain financial transactions.
