Bill overview
The Fight Against Fentanyl Act aims to combat the opioid crisis by allowing funds from the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) to be used for purchasing fentanyl testing kits and naloxone (opioid reversal agents). This would enable local law enforcement and community organizations to more readily distribute these vital tools for preventing overdose deaths and responding to emergencies. The bill specifically modifies existing grant guidelines to explicitly authorize these purchases. It seeks to increase access to resources that can save lives and support individuals struggling with opioid addiction.
