Plain Language Summary

# No Fentanyl on Social Media Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The No Fentanyl on Social Media Act aims to combat the sale and distribution of fentanyl through social media platforms. The bill would require social media companies to take stronger measures to prevent drug trafficking on their platforms and would likely increase oversight by federal agencies like the FTC to ensure compliance. It addresses the problem of illegal drugs being sold online, particularly fentanyl, which has become a major public health crisis. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect social media companies (such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others) that would need to implement stricter content monitoring and removal policies.

It could also impact users by potentially changing how these platforms operate. Law enforcement agencies would gain additional tools to investigate drug trafficking, and ultimately, the public—especially young people—could benefit from reduced exposure to illegal drug sales online. **Current Status** As of now, HR 6259 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Gabe Evans, a Republican from Colorado.
