TITLE II--FEND OFF FENTANYL ACT

SEC. 2101. SHORT TITLES.

This title may be cited as the ``Fentanyl Eradication and
Narcotics Deterrence Off Fentanyl Act'' or the ``FEND Off
Fentanyl Act''.

SEC. 2102. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the proliferation of fentanyl is causing an
unprecedented surge in overdose deaths in the United States,
fracturing families and communities, and necessitating a
comprehensive policy response to combat its lethal flow and
to mitigate the drug's devastating consequences;
(2) the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States is a
national security threat that has killed hundreds of
thousands of United States citizens;
(3) transnational criminal organizations, including cartels
primarily based in Mexico, are the main purveyors of fentanyl
into the United States and must be held accountable;
(4) precursor chemicals sourced from the People's Republic
of China are--
(A) shipped from the People's Republic of China by
legitimate and illegitimate means;
(B) transformed through various synthetic processes to
produce different forms of fentanyl; and
(C) crucial to the production of illicit fentanyl by
transnational criminal organizations, contributing to the
ongoing opioid crisis;
(5) the United States Government must remain vigilant to
address all new forms of fentanyl precursors and drugs used
in combination with fentanyl, such as Xylazine, which
attribute to overdose deaths of people in the United States;
(6) to increase the cost of fentanyl trafficking, the
United States Government should work collaboratively across
agencies and should surge analytic capability to impose
sanctions and other remedies with respect to transnational
criminal organizations (including cartels), including foreign
nationals who facilitate the trade in illicit fentanyl and
its precursors from the People's Republic of China; and
(7) the Department of the Treasury should focus on fentanyl
trafficking and its facilitators as one of the top national
security priorities for the Department.
