H.R. 5274, PREVENT ACT of 2021 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 117th
Date Requested May 19, 2022
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent June 17, 2022
Description:
H.R. 5274 would require Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to provide officer training on how to use containment devices to prevent secondary exposure to fentanyl and other potentially lethal substances. The bill also would require CBP to provide containment devices for officers, agents, and other personnel who are at risk of accidental exposure to synthetic opioids. CBP is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by H.R. 5274. Thus, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not have a significant cost; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
