A resolution supporting the mission and goals of National Fentanyl Awareness Day in 2025, including increasing individual and public awareness of the impact of fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills on families and young people.

This resolution expresses support for the mission and goals of National Fentanyl Awareness Day , which is designated as April 29, 2025. The primary objective is to significantly increase individual and public awareness regarding the severe impact of fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills on families and young people. It also commends the efforts of Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in combating the proliferation of these dangerous counterfeit substances. The resolution underscores the critical need for awareness, noting that drug traffickers are mass-producing and deceptively marketing fake pills, often containing lethal doses of fentanyl. These counterfeit pills are easily accessible, frequently sold on social media, and have contributed to a dramatic rise in drug-induced deaths, particularly among youth. The Senate encourages the use of existing authorities to proactively stop the spread of illicit counterfeit pills and enhance public understanding of this growing crisis.
