Plain-English Summary

The federal government would fund research to develop new technology that can quickly detect fentanyl vapor or particles in mail, prisons, and at borders to help stop the drug from entering the country. The Department of Energy would work with other federal agencies to test and improve these detection methods. This would help law enforcement and prison officials identify fentanyl shipments faster and protect public safety.
