House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) has expressed her approval following the signing of the HALT Fentanyl Act into law by President Trump. The act aims to combat fentanyl trafficking by providing law enforcement with enhanced tools to hold traffickers accountable and protect communities.
"President Trump just sent a clear message to fentanyl traffickers: your time is up. This legislation gives law enforcement the tools they need to hold criminals accountable, protect our communities, and keep deadly fentanyl off our streets," Chairwoman McClain stated.
The new legislation classifies fentanyl as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act permanently. It also enhances the ability of law enforcement agencies to prosecute those involved in fentanyl trafficking.
