Combatting Fentanyl Poisonings Act of 2025
HR 5573, the Combatting Fentanyl Poisonings Act of 2025, creates three federal grant programs to address fentanyl-related harms. It funds state/local law enforcement to target illegal social media sales of controlled substances (including fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills) and provides education for schools and parents about fentanyl risks. Nonprofits receive grants up to $50,000 to run public awareness campaigns, produce educational materials, and offer counseling for families affected by fentanyl deaths - though funds cannot cover most harm reduction supplies (only naloxone is permitted). The bill allocates $10 million for law enforcement programs, $3 million for awareness grants, and $2 million for officer safety equipment like fentanyl test strips and naloxone training.
