Florida Senator Rick Scott (R) announced that his bipartisan legislation, the Eradicating Narcotic Drugs and Formulating Effective New Tools to Address National Yearly Losses of Life (END FENTANYL) Act, passed the House of Representatives, marking a unanimous full Congressional passage, and now heads to the president’s desk.

According to a news release from Sen.

This legislation is cosponsored by Senators Mike Braun, Maggie Hassan, Jacky Rosen and Mark Kelly. Representatives Michael Guest and David Trone led the charge in the House of Representatives.
