Targeting Online Sales of Fentanyl Act

Bill 118 s 2982, also known as the Targeting Online Sales of Fentanyl Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of addressing the issue of fentanyl being sold online. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is responsible for a significant number of overdose deaths in the United States.

The bill seeks to combat the illegal sale of fentanyl on the internet by requiring online marketplaces and other websites that facilitate the sale of goods or services to verify the identity of high-volume sellers. This is intended to prevent individuals from anonymously selling fentanyl and other dangerous drugs online.

Additionally, the Targeting Online Sales of Fentanyl Act would require online marketplaces to report suspicious sales of fentanyl to law enforcement authorities. This would help to ensure that illegal sales of fentanyl are quickly identified and addressed. Overall, the bill aims to increase oversight of online sales of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs in order to protect public health and safety. It is an important step in the ongoing efforts to combat the opioid epidemic in the United States.
