Measuring Illicit Fentanyl Trafficking Act
What this does
This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to act within one year of enactment on how the Department tracks illicit fentanyl. It requires each Department of Homeland Security component that works on detecting, deterring, and seizing illicit fentanyl to share relevant data with the other components and to identify any barriers to that sharing. It also requires the Department to establish performance metrics for detection, deterrence, and seizure of illicit fentanyl, both department-wide and for each component, aligned with the Department's existing goals. The bill creates a coordination and measurement mandate. It adds no new funding, penalties, or enforcement powers.

Reported lobbying
No organization named this measure in a lobbying filing we could read with confidence.
That is not a finding that nobody lobbied it. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, and a reference that could not be pinned to exactly one measure is refused rather than guessed. This bill may have been lobbied without being named, or named in words we would not risk reading as this bill.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The pull came up 2 short in 2025 Q4 and 7 short in 2026 Q2 against the register's own count, so those quarters are the filings posted rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
