A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day on August 21, 2024.

SRES 799 is a non-binding Senate resolution supporting Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day on August 21, 2024. It encourages the public to promote prevention of illicit fentanyl use, educate youth about its dangers, and participate in community activities that foster drug-free lifestyles. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but symbolically aligns with federal and community efforts to address the fentanyl crisis, which has been linked to over 107,000 drug overdose deaths in 2023. It directly urges Americans - particularly young people and communities - to commit to healthy, drug-free living through awareness and prevention.
