Bipartisan Bill Would Help U.S. Law Enforcement Prevent Drug Smuggling And Save Lives<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON DC <\/strong>\u2013 Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), applauded news that the bipartisan Eradicating Narcotic Drugs and Formulating Effective New Tools to Address National Yearly Losses of Life (END FENTANYL) Act<\/em>, legislation introduced by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Senator Rosen, has passed the Senate. This legislation, which Rosen helped move through committee earlier this year, would require the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to update its policies at least once every three years to ensure drug interdiction guidance is up to date. Many CBP policies that outline drug interdiction practices are outdated and do not provide guidance on how to handle drugs such as fentanyl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFentanyl is a deadly drug that is killing people in Nevada and across our nation,\u201d dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cThis bipartisan legislation will ensure that law enforcement officers are better prepared by providing them with updated tools and training to prevent the spread of dangerous drugs and help save lives. I\u2019m glad to have co-sponsored this important bill and helped see it pass out of the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
