HR-6767 : Still Just a Bill

The Transnational Fentanyl Prevention Act, also known as H.R. 6767, mandates the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to provide Congress with an intelligence assessment on the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco Cartel.

Key provisions of the bill include:

• Requires the CIA Director to submit an intelligence assessment to Congress within 90 days of the bill's enactment.
• The assessment must include details on the cartels' leadership, structure, presence in Mexico, drug smuggling routes, and practices for importing chemicals and producing synthetic drugs.
• It also requires information on suppliers and brokers, how the cartels tailor fentanyl products to attract users, and their efforts to undermine counternarcotics activities.
• The assessment must estimate the cartels' annual revenue from illicit drug sales, broken down by drug type.
• The report may be submitted in classified form.

The bill defines "appropriate committees of Congress" to include various intelligence, foreign affairs, homeland security, banking, and appropriations committees in both the House and Senate.
