The Combatting Fentanyl Poisonings Act of 2025 creates three new federal grant programs to address the fentanyl crisis. First, it authorizes $10 million in grants to state and local law enforcement agencies to combat illegal drug sales on social media platforms, including funding for arrests and training programs to educate schools, clinicians, and parents about fentanyl dangers. Second, it allocates $3 million in grants to nonprofit organizations for public awareness campaigns about fentanyl risks, including support for bereaved families to speak at events, educational materials, counseling services, and naloxone training—though funds cannot be used for harm-reduction supplies like testing kits or injection equipment. Third, it provides $2 million in grants to equip law enforcement officers with fentanyl detection tools and naloxone to protect them from occupational exposure. The bill amends existing crime-control law and does not specify an implementation timeline beyond authorizing the grant programs through the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance.
