Bill overview
This bill, the Drug-Free Social Media and Digital Communities Act of 2024, amends the Controlled Substances Act to increase penalties for distributing controlled substances through online platforms like social media. Specifically, it doubles the potential prison sentence and fines for such violations, and significantly increases the penalties for repeat offenses. The bill defines ‘interactive computer service’ to include services like the internet and systems operated by libraries or schools. It also includes a clerical amendment to reflect the addition of the new section.
