WASHINGTON—House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) released the following statement after President Trump signed the Halt All Lethal Trafficking of (HALT) Fentanyl Act into law:
“President Trump just sent a clear message to fentanyl traffickers: your time is up. This legislation gives law enforcement the tools they need to hold criminals accountable, protect our communities, and keep deadly fentanyl off our streets,” Chairwoman McClain said.
This bill permanently makes fentanyl a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. It also strengthens law enforcement’s ability to prosecute fentanyl traffickers.
