HR 8005 United States House · 119th Congress

Stop Pills That Kill Act

The Stop Pills That Kill Act targets counterfeit pills containing fentanyl or methamphetamine that are sold under the branding of legitimate prescription medications. It expands federal criminal penalties to specifically include these counterfeit substances and requires the Drug Enforcement Administration to create a comprehensive plan within 180 days to improve law enforcement investigations and public education efforts. The bill also mandates annual reports to Congress detailing seizure data, prosecution statistics, and prevention measures related to counterfeit pills. These provisions aim to enhance federal response to the distribution of fake prescription pills while maintaining existing legal frameworks.
