What This Bill Does
This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act (a federal law controlling who can enter and stay in the United States) to make changes related to fentanyl. The bill makes two specific changes to the grounds that can prevent certain foreign nationals from entering the country.
Who It Affects
Foreign nationals attempting to enter the United States who have trafficked in controlled substances, particularly fentanyl.
Key Provisions
- Fentanyl and fentanyl analogues (chemically similar versions of fentanyl) are explicitly included in the list of controlled substances that make someone inadmissible to the country (Sec. 2(a)(1))
- The penalty threshold for certain controlled substance trafficking violations increases from 5 to 15 (Sec. 2(a)(2))
What Changes
If this becomes law, foreign nationals who have trafficked in fentanyl or fentanyl analogues will be specifically listed as grounds for inadmissibility. Additionally, a penalty number related to controlled substance trafficking violations changes from 5 to 15, though the bill does not explain what this number represents.
Important Definitions
The bill does not define fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, controlled substances or inadmissibility.
