To require the Federal Trade Commission to submit to Congress a report on the ability of minors to access fentanyl through social media platforms, and for other purposes.
Summary

The FTC must coordinate with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services and consult with stakeholders including parents, law enforcement, medical professionals, and social media platforms. The report must also include recommendations for Congress on how to eliminate minors' ability to access fentanyl on social media.
