HR 7185 United States House · 118th Congress

HIDTA Reauthorization Act of 2024

HR 7185 reauthorizes the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program through 2030, with specific focus on fentanyl. It allocates $302 million annually for HIDTA operations and adds $14.2 million yearly for grants to enhance fentanyl seizure efforts through competitive grants. The bill requires annual reports detailing fentanyl seizures and trafficking data, and directs the Attorney General to assign at least 16 assistant U.S. attorneys to prioritize fentanyl trafficking cases. This directly affects federal drug task forces, law enforcement agencies, and prosecutors working on fentanyl-related investigations.
