Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), working with the Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration, to write a report on how people under 18 can get fentanyl, including pressed pills, through social media platforms. The report would be due to two congressional committees within one year and would be posted on the FTC website. It would cover how drug sellers use these platforms, how platform design affects access, what platforms and others are doing about it, and recommendations for Congress. The FTC would have to consult with parents, platforms, law enforcement, medical and treatment professionals, and other experts, and could redact information that might compromise law enforcement tactics.
