Supporting the mission and goals of National Fentanyl Awareness Day in 2025, including increasing individual and public awareness of the impact of fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills on families and young people.
HRES 359 is a symbolic House resolution supporting the designation of National Fentanyl Awareness Day in 2025. It aims to increase public awareness about the dangers of fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills, particularly their impact on families and young people. The resolution encourages existing law enforcement efforts to combat counterfeit pill distribution but does not create new laws or funding. It specifically highlights the rising threat of fentanyl-laced pills, which have contributed to over 51,000 fentanyl-related overdose deaths in 2024. This is a ceremonial resolution focused on awareness, not policy change.
