The HIDTA Enhancement Act amends federal drug control policy to strengthen efforts against fentanyl trafficking. The bill requires the Office of National Drug Control Policy to produce detailed annual reports on how High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) funds are used to investigate and prosecute fentanyl trafficking organizations, including seizure amounts and regional threat data. The legislation also establishes a new mechanism allowing HIDTA directors to request temporary assignment of federal prosecutors to focus specifically on fentanyl cases. Funding is authorized at $333 million annually for HIDTAs from fiscal years 2025 through 2030, and the bill increases resources for related activities to $14.2 million. These changes aim to improve coordination between drug enforcement agencies and prosecutors while providing better tracking of fentanyl interdiction efforts across the country.
