ACR 20 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This New Jersey concurrent resolution (ACR 20) urges Congress to pass H.R.128, which would direct the Department of Homeland Security to treat illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction under existing federal law. It specifically targets illegal fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks, not medical or legal uses of fentanyl. The bill aligns with a prior House resolution (H.Res.1172) arguing this classification would strengthen efforts to disrupt international fentanyl trafficking. The resolution does not change current medical fentanyl regulations or harm reduction programs. It is a state-level request for federal legislative action, not a binding law.
