To establish requirements and impose civil penalties on certain entities of the People's Republic of China that do not employ appropriate safeguards to prevent fentanyl trafficking.

Bill 118 hr 10451, also known as the "Fentanyl Sanctions Act," aims to address the issue of fentanyl trafficking from the People's Republic of China. The bill establishes requirements and imposes civil penalties on certain entities in China that do not have appropriate safeguards in place to prevent the trafficking of fentanyl.

Under this bill, entities in China that are found to be involved in fentanyl trafficking will face civil penalties. These penalties are intended to serve as a deterrent and hold these entities accountable for their actions. The bill also aims to encourage these entities to implement proper safeguards to prevent the trafficking of fentanyl in the future.

The Fentanyl Sanctions Act is a response to the growing opioid crisis in the United States, where fentanyl has been a major contributor to overdose deaths. By targeting entities in China that are involved in fentanyl trafficking, the bill seeks to disrupt the supply chain of this dangerous drug and protect American citizens from its harmful effects. Overall, the Fentanyl Sanctions Act is a proactive measure aimed at addressing the issue of fentanyl trafficking from China and protecting public health and safety in the United States.
