This legislation, titled the Fight Fentanyl Act, amends the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998 to significantly bolster federal efforts against fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances . It authorizes increased appropriations for High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) programs , allocating $333,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2025 through 2030 to support these critical initiatives. The bill also expands the permissible uses of HIDTA funds to include providing assistance to law enforcement agencies for fentanyl interdiction and prevention activities. The Act introduces new reporting requirements for HIDTAs , mandating detailed reports on the use of funds to investigate fentanyl trafficking, including resulting prosecutions, amounts seized, and predictive data on substance abuse patterns. Furthermore, it requires the Attorney General to make sufficient investigative and prosecutorial resources available, including the temporary reassignment of Assistant U.S. Attorneys for fiscal years 2024 through 2030, to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of organizations and individuals involved in fentanyl trafficking. This comprehensive approach aims to strengthen law enforcement capabilities and enhance data-driven strategies to combat the fentanyl crisis.
