Targeting Online Sales of Fentanyl Act
This bill (S 2982) mandates a study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) into online sales of fentanyl and methamphetamine. The GAO must examine business models used by illicit sellers, how financial transactions occur via online platforms (especially impacting users under 18), federal and state government collaboration efforts, and how platforms detect and report drug sales. The study will analyze enforcement processes, referral patterns to law enforcement, and identify gaps in current efforts. The GAO must submit a report to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. This is a procedural study bill with no immediate policy changes or direct impact on citizens or businesses.
