(1) The increase in fentanyl-related uninten-
tional overdose fatalities presents another life-threat-
ening scenario for its victims and threatens first-re-
sponders. 
(2) The U.S. Sentencing Commission— 
(A) ought to consider the presence of 
fentanyl in connection to the illicit distribution 
of an illicit substance, as a cutting agent; and 
(B) if fentanyl is present as a cutting 
agent or in its pure form, may consider such 
presence as an aggravating factor at sen-
tencing. 
(3) Better identification and reporting practices 
by medical examiners and coroners to identify 
fentanyl in an overdose mortality will help the States 
and the Federal Government to allocate resources 
more accurately. Those findings ought to be con-
fidential but for any aggregate data released by the 
appropriate government agency. 
(4) Congress encourages States to expand 
training opportunities to first responders to admin-
ister naloxone. 
(5) Eliminating the civil liability of first re-
sponders administering naloxone would save lives 
and protect our emergency personnel.
