HR 6978 United States House · 118th Congress

Combating Online Fentanyl Trafficking Act

This bill creates a 25% pay incentive for Department of Justice employees with specialized cyber skills (such as expertise in computers, networks, or internet technology) who work directly on detecting, preventing, or prosecuting online fentanyl trafficking. It applies specifically to DOJ positions requiring these skills to combat fentanyl trafficking cases. The incentive pay is added to an employee's base salary for retirement calculations but is excluded from annual pay limits. The bill directly affects DOJ personnel in cyber-focused roles targeting online drug trafficking operations.
