This bill requires the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and report on how minors can access fentanyl—including counterfeit pills—through social media platforms. Within one year of passage, the FTC must coordinate with the FDA and Drug Enforcement Administration to publish a comprehensive report examining how prevalent fentanyl sales are on social media, how drug sellers market these drugs, which platform design features enable access, and what measures social media companies currently use to prevent such sales. The bill also asks the FTC to consult with parents, law enforcement, medical professionals, and other experts, and to include recommendations for Congress on how to address the problem. The report will be made publicly available, though sensitive law enforcement details may be redacted. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
