PIERRE, SD (KELO.com) — Just about the time they get one drug under control, a new one comes on the black market. That’s the frustrating position for law enforcement trying to get ahead of the deadly fentanyl market. Attorney General Marty Jackley says drug cartels often change the chemistry of their drugs to stay ahead of the law. He wants congress to change that.
Jackley is among 23 Attorneys General asking the U-S Senate to pass the HALT Fentanyl Act. It’s a far-reaching proposal already approved by the House that permanently regulates all forms of fentanyl. Without it, he says it’s a bit like going to war without any weapons.
The HALT Fentanyl Act has already been approved by the U.S. House. Now, Jackley and his colleagues are hoping the Senate will also act quickly.
