Bill overview
This bill, the Alan T. Shao II Fentanyl Public Health Emergency and Overdose Prevention Act, aims to address the severe fentanyl crisis in the United States by temporarily suspending the entry of certain individuals attempting to enter the country. Specifically, it targets ‘covered aliens’ – those attempting to enter from Canada or Mexico without proper documentation and being processed by immigration authorities. The bill prioritizes public health by returning these individuals to their country of origin or entry point to prevent the introduction and spread of fentanyl.
