Bill overview
This bill, the Zero Tolerance for Deceptive Fentanyl Trafficking Act, aims to combat the illicit sale and trafficking of fentanyl and its analogs. It expands the list of controlled substances to include five specific fentanyl analogues and broadens the definition of ‘fentanyl-related substances’ to encompass a wider range of chemical compounds. The legislation also establishes a new criminal offense and significantly increases penalties, including the possibility of the death penalty, for knowingly misrepresenting or marketing fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, or related substances, particularly if it results in death or is done with intent to cause death, and for those with prior felony convictions or who are unlawfully present in the United States.
