ERADICATING NARCOTIC DRUGS AND FORMULATING EFFECTIVE NEW TOOLS TO
ADDRESS NATIONAL YEARLY LOSSES OF LIFE ACT
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate
proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 544, S. 4460.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A bill (S. 4460) to require the Commissioner of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to regularly review and update
policies and manuals related to inspections at ports of
entry.
There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill,
which had been reported from the Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs, with an amendment to strike all after the
enacting clause and insert in lieu thereof the following:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLES.
This Act may be cited as the ``Eradicating Narcotic Drugs
and Formulating Effective New Tools to Address National
Yearly Losses of life Act'' or the ``END FENTANYL Act''.
SEC. 2. ENSURING TIMELY UPDATES TO U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER
PROTECTION FIELD MANUALS.
(a) In General.--Not less frequently than triennially, the
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall
review and update, as necessary, the current policies and
manuals of the Office of Field Operations related to
inspections at ports of entry to ensure the uniform
implementation of inspection practices that will effectively
respond to technological and methodological changes designed
to disguise illegal activity, such as the smuggling of drugs
and humans, along the border.
(b) Reporting Requirement.--Shortly after each update
required under subsection (a), the Commissioner of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection shall submit a report to the
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of
the Senate and the Committee on Homeland Security of the
House of Representatives that summarizes the policy and
manual changes implemented by such update.
Mr. SCHUMER. I ask unanimous consent that the committee-reported
substitute amendment be considered and agreed to; that the bill, as
amended, be considered read a third time and passed; and that the
motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The committee-reported amendment in the nature of a substitute was
agreed to.
The bill (S. 4460), as amended, was ordered to be engrossed for a
third reading, was read the third time, and passed.
