HR 9439 United States House · 118th Congress

Fentanyl Seizure and Health Recovery Act

HR 9439 redirects funds from federal seizures of fentanyl and opioid products to support health recovery programs. Specifically, it amends the Controlled Substances Act to require that moneys forfeited from cartels producing or distributing opioids (including fentanyl) be used to cover expenses under part B of title XIX of the Public Health Service Act. This directs forfeiture funds toward health services rather than general treasury funds. The bill directly affects federal agencies managing drug seizures and public health programs funded under the specified health service act provisions.
