S 3965 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Deploy Fentanyl Scanners Act of 2024

This bill appropriates $201 million from the U.S. Treasury to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for fiscal year 2024 to deploy nonintrusive inspection technology at the southern U.S. border. It directly affects CBP operations by funding equipment specifically intended to detect fentanyl trafficking. The key provision is the allocation of these funds for installing scanners at border locations to identify fentanyl without physical inspection of vehicles or packages. The bill focuses solely on authorizing this funding without specifying additional enforcement measures or broader policy changes.
