No Fentanyl on Social Media Act
Summary
H.R. 6259 would direct the Federal Trade Commission, working with the Department of Health and Human Services and Drug Enforcement Administration, to investigate and report on how minors can access fentanyl through social media platforms. The report would examine the prevalence of fentanyl sales on social media, how drug sellers market and distribute the drug to minors, the health risks to young people, and how social media platforms currently address illicit drug sales. The FTC would need to submit this report to Congress and make it publicly available within one year of the bill's enactment. The bill would also require recommendations for Congress on how to reduce minors' ability to access fentanyl online. This legislation has been referred to committee and is currently under consideration but has not yet been voted on by the full House.
