The Work Group must recommend how to teach youth about fentanyl
The document says “shall”Who acts: the Federal Interagency Work Group on Fentanyl Contamination of Illegal DrugsHow: statuteSec. 110 in the PDF
What the document says
“make recommendations for educating youth on the potency and dangers of drugs contaminated by fentanyl.”
The section lists five duties for the work group: examining Federal efforts, identifying strategies to improve State, Tribal and local responses, coordinating with the Secretary on public awareness, making recommendations to Congress on Federal programs, and making recommendations on educating youth.
What the document actually says
“make recommendations for educating youth on the potency and dangers of drugs contaminated by fentanyl.”
That sentence, in plain words
The work group must say how to teach young people about fentanyl. It must cover how strong the drug is. It must cover the danger too.
What this is about
A recommendation is advice. It does not become law by itself. Congress or an agency would have to act on it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
