                    TITLE II--FEND OFF FENTANYL ACT

     SEC. 2101. SHORT TITLES.

       This title may be cited as the ``Fentanyl Eradication and 
     Narcotics Deterrence Off Fentanyl Act'' or the ``FEND Off 
     Fentanyl Act''.

     SEC. 2102. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the proliferation of fentanyl is causing an 
     unprecedented surge in overdose deaths in the United States, 
     fracturing families and communities, and necessitating a 
     comprehensive policy response to combat its lethal flow and 
     to mitigate the drug's devastating consequences;
       (2) the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States is a 
     national security threat that has killed hundreds of 
     thousands of United States citizens;
       (3) transnational criminal organizations, including cartels 
     primarily based in Mexico, are the main purveyors of fentanyl 
     into the United States and must be held accountable;
       (4) precursor chemicals sourced from the People's Republic 
     of China are--
       (A) shipped from the People's Republic of China by 
     legitimate and illegitimate means;
       (B) transformed through various synthetic processes to 
     produce different forms of fentanyl; and
       (C) crucial to the production of illicit fentanyl by 
     transnational criminal organizations, contributing to the 
     ongoing opioid crisis;
       (5) the United States Government must remain vigilant to 
     address all new forms of fentanyl precursors and drugs used 
     in combination with fentanyl, such as Xylazine, which 
     attribute to overdose deaths of people in the United States;
       (6) to increase the cost of fentanyl trafficking, the 
     United States Government should work collaboratively across 
     agencies and should surge analytic capability to impose 
     sanctions and other remedies with respect to transnational 
     criminal organizations (including cartels), including foreign 
     nationals who facilitate the trade in illicit fentanyl and 
     its precursors from the People's Republic of China; and
       (7) the Department of the Treasury should focus on fentanyl 
     trafficking and its facilitators as one of the top national 
     security priorities for the Department.
