Fentanyl Crisis Research and Evaluation Act
This bill requires the Comptroller General to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within one year of enactment, detailing the economic and social impacts of the fentanyl crisis. The report must cover effects on labor markets (by race/gender), industry sectors, federal tax revenue, healthcare programs (Medicare/Medicaid), housing instability, and state finances. It also mandates data on federally assisted rental housing access for people with drug convictions, underage fentanyl overdose deaths, and federal actions to support states. The bill does not create new policies or funding but directs data collection for congressional review.
