Establishes a program to research and develop new technologies to detect fentanyl
This bill would establish a program for research, development, testing, and evaluation of novel technologies to detect fentanyl. The Department of Energy would lead this effort, working with other agencies like Homeland Security and the Postal Service. The goal is to support rapid screening for fentanyl in mail, at prisons, and at U.S. borders.
Currently, the Department of Energy is not specifically directed to work with other agencies to develop new ways to detect fentanyl. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Energy would be required to start a new program to research and test advanced technologies for finding fentanyl vapor and particles. This program would involve close teamwork with the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Postal Service. This means a new, coordinated federal effort would be established to develop these detection tools.
