A resolution expressing support for the designation of February 26, 2023, to March 4, 2023, as "National Fentanyl Awareness Week" and raising awareness of the negative impacts of fentanyl in the United States.

SRES 79 designates February 26-March 4, 2023, as "National Fentanyl Awareness Week" to highlight the dangers of fentanyl, a highly potent synthetic opioid linked to rising overdose deaths. The resolution encourages the public to use only prescribed medications and seek treatment for substance use disorder, while recognizing law enforcement and recovery organizations working to address the fentanyl crisis. It cites data showing fentanyl-related overdoses as the leading cause of death for U.S. adults aged 18-49 and notes seizures of over 379 million fentanyl doses in 2022. As a non-binding Senate resolution, it does not create new laws but aims to raise public awareness about fentanyl's role in the overdose epidemic.
