Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) introduced legislation on Feb. 24 to block the flow from China of precursor drugs made into deadly fentanyl that ends up in the United States.

“The Stop CCP Fentanyl Act” imposes sanctions on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Chairman Xi Jinping and CCP senior officials. It also includes a recourse for the immediate family of those killed by fentanyl to pursue damages against the CCP.
