Summary
A bill to impose sanctions with respect to trafficking of illicit fentanyl and its precursors by transnational criminal organizations, including cartels, and for other purposes.

The FEND Off Fentanyl Act would allow the U.S. government to impose sanctions—financial penalties and trade restrictions—against people and organizations involved in trafficking illegal fentanyl and its chemical building blocks across borders. Fentanyl is a powerful opioid drug, and precursors are the raw chemicals used to make it.
