Bill overview
This bill, the SWIFT Detection Act of 2023, aims to improve the nation's response to the opioid crisis by expanding the use of wastewater surveillance. It allows federal grants to include wastewater testing to track controlled substance use in communities, particularly for synthetic opioids like fentanyl. The bill also supports a pilot program to enhance coordination between public health and law enforcement labs in detecting these drugs. Ultimately, the goal is to use wastewater data to better understand and address the spread of opioids.
