Bruce's Law

S 1235 "Bruce's Law" creates new federal programs to address fentanyl contamination in illegal drugs. It mandates public education campaigns targeting youth, parents, schools, and first responders about the dangers of fentanyl-contaminated drugs, including prevention strategies and early warning signs of addiction. The bill establishes a Federal Interagency Work Group to coordinate efforts across health, law enforcement, and education agencies, and authorizes grants for community coalitions in areas with significant fentanyl-related overdoses to implement evidence-based prevention programs focused on youth. These provisions apply directly to communities experiencing fentanyl-related overdoses and require annual reporting to Congress on strategies to reduce overdoses.
