ACR 167 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress to enact H.R.128 directing treatment of illicit fentanyl as weapon of mass destruction.

New Jersey's ACR 167 is a concurrent resolution urging Congress to pass H.R.128, which would direct the Department of Homeland Security to treat **illicit fentanyl** (not medical fentanyl) as a weapon of mass destruction under existing law. If enacted, this would classify illicit fentanyl - often mixed into illegal drugs without users' knowledge - as a WMD, aligning with the legal definition of toxic chemicals causing mass harm. The resolution specifically targets **illicit drug trafficking networks** and aims to empower federal agencies to disrupt international fentanyl manufacturing and distribution. It does not affect medical use of fentanyl or harm reduction efforts, as clarified in supporting House Resolution 1172.
