Today, the House passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, which I gladly supported, to permanently classify fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs. Schedule I drugs are substances with high potential for abuse and are NOT accepted for medical use. If this bill gets signed into law, it will protect American citizens, specifically women and children, against the very real threat posed by lethal fentanyl-related substances (FRS).

This legislation could not come soon enough. This deadly drug is already in our SC-05 community! In fact, on Monday, Chester County law enforcement conducted a HISTORIC drug raid, seizing more than 3 POUNDS of fentanyl, enough to kill OVER 680,000 SC-05 RESIDENTS!! It’s time to make the class-wide scheduling order for FRS PERMANENT!

Every single life lost to the fentanyl crisis is more than just a statistic. Republicans are committed to ensuring we have strong border control and crack down on traffickers. Despite 108 Democrats voting AGAINST this, I am proud to help pass this common-sense legislation!
