Intelligence Reform and Transnational Crime Prevention Act of 2024
This bill creates a National Counterterrorism and Counternarcotics Center within the intelligence community to coordinate efforts against transnational criminal organizations, particularly those involved in illicit fentanyl trafficking. It requires the intelligence community to prioritize disrupting fentanyl trafficking in its planning, mandates annual briefings to Congress on these efforts, and adds new criminal penalties for providing material support for fentanyl production and distribution. The bill also expands definitions of "material support" and "covered synthetic drugs" to better address fentanyl and new psychoactive substances. The law directly affects the intelligence community, federal law enforcement agencies, and international partners working to disrupt transnational criminal networks.
