S 1475 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Stop Pills That Kill Act

S 1475, the "Stop Pills That Kill Act," targets counterfeit fentanyl and methamphetamine pills marketed to mimic legitimate medications. It updates federal law to explicitly prohibit these fake pills and requires the DEA to create a comprehensive plan within 180 days, including enforcement strategies, youth-focused prevention education, and audits of current campaigns like "One Pill Can Kill." The bill mandates annual reports to Congress detailing seizures of counterfeit pills, prosecution data, conviction statistics, and ongoing prevention efforts. It directly affects federal law enforcement agencies, public health officials, and individuals involved in manufacturing or distributing these deceptive pills. The focus is on concrete data collection and prevention measures for pill-form counterfeits, not on new criminal penalties.
