S 987 United States Senate · 118th Congress

PREVENT Fentanyl Act

This bill amends the HERO Corps Program (previously called the HERO Child-Rescue Corps) within the Homeland Security Act to explicitly include investigating fentanyl trafficking alongside its existing focus on child exploitation. The key change adds "fentanyl trafficking" to the program's authorized investigative activities, allowing participants to prioritize this issue. A new provision limits fentanyl trafficking investigations to no more than 40% of the program's total investigative work. The bill directly affects the HERO Corps Program participants and their assigned investigative priorities.
