On August 1st, 2023, following several recent major fentanyl busts in Orleans County, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer launched a major new push to upend the flow of fentanyl in Orleans, Western NY, and the Finger Lakes-Rochester area. Schumer detailed the new bipartisan legislation, the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, he included in the Senate-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would not only allow President Biden to place sanctions on China for its role in contributing to our nation’s fentanyl epidemic and declare international fentanyl trafficking a national emergency.
