SRES 95 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing support for the designation of February 23, 2025, to March 1, 2025, as "National Fentanyl Awareness Week" and raising awareness of the negative impacts of fentanyl in the United States.

SRES 95 is a non-binding Senate resolution designating February 23-March 1, 2025, as "National Fentanyl Awareness Week" to highlight the dangers of fentanyl in the U.S. It does not create new laws but encourages public awareness about fentanyl's extreme potency (50x stronger than heroin) and its role in overdose deaths, citing CDC data showing fentanyl-related poisonings as the leading cause of death for U.S. adults aged 18-45. The resolution urges individuals to use only prescribed medications, seek treatment for substance use disorder, and supports law enforcement efforts combating fentanyl trafficking. It directly affects the general public by promoting education and prevention during the designated awareness period.
