Maddy summaryHR 795 amends the 1968 Crime Control Act to require federal funding for training first responders on using containment devices that prevent secondary exposure to fentanyl and other dangerous substances.

The law specifically targets risks faced when handling drugs like fentanyl during arrests or medical emergencies. First responders, including police and EMTs, would directly benefit from this provision. The bill mandates these measures through existing federal programs without creating new standalone requirements.

Dealers can defer recognizing income from these sales and have until 2026 to replace the sold vehicles before potential tax adjustments apply.
