Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2025

The Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act would amend existing law to broaden the definition of foreign opioid traffickers to include Chinese companies and government officials involved in producing, manufacturing, or distributing synthetic opioids and precursor chemicals. Under the bill, these entities and officials would become subject to economic sanctions if they fail to take steps to prevent opioid trafficking or refuse to cooperate with U.S. counternarcotics efforts. The bill also requires the President to conduct preliminary analyses before regulating economic transactions during national emergencies related to drug trafficking.

The legislation would require the Administration to submit annual reports to Congress on its efforts to prevent foreign opioid trafficking and investigations of Chinese entities, with this reporting requirement ending after 2029. Additionally, the bill mandates regular reporting on the government's use of emergency economic powers to address conditions that led to declarations of national emergencies related to drug trafficking. These reporting requirements would help Congress oversee executive branch actions in this area.
