This resolution is a nonbinding statement by the House supporting National Fentanyl Awareness Day in 2025 and promoting awareness about fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills.

Simple resolutions are considered and adopted only by the House of Representatives; they are not sent to the Senate or the President and do not have the force of law. They are typically symbolic or used to express the position of one chamber.
This House resolution supports the designation of National Fentanyl Awareness Day in 2025 and its goal of increasing public awareness about fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills.
It highlights statistics on fentanyl-related deaths and seizures, applauds federal, state, and local law enforcement, and encourages use of existing authorities to prevent the spread of counterfeit pills.
The resolution is nonbinding and ceremonial, with no authorization of new funding or regulatory changes.
As a House simple resolution it is nonbinding and does not become law; passage in both chambers as law is implausible given form.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a standard commemorative House resolution: it sets out a clear purpose with supporting factual 'whereas' language and expresses non‑binding support and encouragement rather than creating legal obligations.
