Tracking Xylazine (Tranq) Sources: New Requirements for Narcotics Report.

This bill aims to enhance public safety by addressing the opioid crisis. It requires the U.S. government to identify and report on countries that are significant sources of xylazine—a dangerous substance often mixed with illicit drugs like fentanyl. Better tracking is intended to curb the supply of this poison, which contributes to fatal overdoses.
Key points
Mandates tracking the international sources of xylazine (Tranq), a substance increasing the lethality of illicit drugs.
Information on countries producing xylazine will be included in the annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report.
The goal is to reduce the flow of xylazine into the U.S., improving public safety and health.
