1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Save American Families Everywhere from Illicit Foreign Opioids Act or the SAFE from Illicit Foreign Opioids Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) From 1999–2017, nearly 400,000 people in the United States died from opioid overdose. (2) Overdose deaths from opioids have increased nearly six-fold since 1999, killing approximately 130 Americans every day. (3) Since 2013, there has been a significant increase in overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyl. (4) Opioids, especially synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, are currently the main driver of drug overdose deaths, and were involved in nearly 68 percent of all drug overdose deaths in 2017. (5) Fentanyl illicitly trafficked into the United States from abroad is significantly responsible for the ongoing fentanyl epidemic. (6) The vast majority of heroin used in the United States comes from Mexico, and fentanyl generally originates from sources in China. (7) Illicit opioids are trafficked into the United States through a variety of routes, including overland across the Southwest border, and through online orders that are shipped by international mail and express consignment services. (8) Because these illicit drugs originate almost exclusively from overseas, stopping these drug flows requires enhanced foreign policy engagement by the United States. 3. International strategy to stop illicit opioid flows (a) In general The Secretary of State, in conjunction with the heads of other Federal agencies, as appropriate, shall develop and maintain an international diplomatic and assistance strategy to stop the flow of illicit opioids into the United States. (b) Elements The strategy required under subsection (a) shall include, at a minimum, the following: (1) A clear statement of the goals and objectives of the strategy. (2) A description of the activities and tools necessary to implement the strategy. (3) An identification of concrete benchmarks to judge progress in implementing the strategy.
