HR 3203

Sponsored by Andy Barr (R)

Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2023

Would have made some Chinese entities and officials count as foreign opioid traffickers, opening them to sanctions.

Tradeoff

Would have let the US sanction Chinese companies and officials that fail to stop fentanyl trafficking. Would also have extended the deadline to bring charges under two sanctions laws to 10 years.
