HR 5744 United States House · 119th Congress

Targeting Online Sales of Fentanyl Act

This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study how fentanyl, synthetic opioids, and methamphetamine are sold online. The GAO will examine online sellers' business models, financial transactions on illicit platforms (especially impacting users 18+), federal government efforts to combat these sales, and how online platforms detect and enforce against such activity. The study will analyze government coordination, platform enforcement mechanisms, and referral data to law enforcement over the past decade. The GAO must submit a report to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. This is a research-focused bill with no direct policy changes or immediate effects on individuals or entities.
