Last week, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) issued the following statement after voting for H.R. 27, the Halt Fentanyl Act; legislation that passed the U.S. House of Representatives:
“Over the past four years, every community across America has been ravaged by fentanyl trafficked across a wide-open Southern Border. As I have traveled across Indiana's Second District, I have seen the devastating impacts firsthand."
"In 2023, more than 107,000 people died of drug overdoses and roughly 75,000 died from exposure to fentanyl-related substances (FRS). This is an unacceptable threat to our country that must be addressed."
"This vital legislation makes the temporary class-wide scheduling for FRS permanent and ensures law enforcement have the tools they need to keep dangerous drugs off our streets."
"I am proud to support our brave law enforcement officials who need more resources to address this deadly epidemic and look forward to seeing the lifesaving impacts of this legislation."
