HIDTA Enhancement Act
This bill amends the HIDTA program to strengthen efforts against fentanyl trafficking. It requires new annual reports detailing HIDTA-funded fentanyl seizures, trafficking patterns, and law enforcement data, directly affecting HIDTA programs and regional law enforcement. Key provisions include increasing annual funding to $333 million (2025-2030), adjusting prior funding levels, and directing the Attorney General to make prosecutorial resources available for fentanyl-related cases through temporary reassignment of U.S. attorneys. The law focuses on enhancing fentanyl prevention, seizure, and interdiction activities through data reporting, funding, and targeted prosecution resources.
