DETECT Nitazenes Act of 2025
This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require federal agencies to detect and identify nitazenes - synthetic opioids - alongside fentanyl and xylazine in drug detection protocols. It directly affects law enforcement agencies and laboratories using federal detection equipment, updating their technical standards to include nitazenes. The key change is adding "nitazenes" to the list of substances covered under existing detection requirements. This is a procedural update to existing law, not a new regulatory mandate.
