6 U.S.C. § 216 — Protection against potential synthetic opioid exposure

(a) In general: The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection must issue a policy with effective protocols and procedures for safely handling potential synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, by CBP officers, agents, other personnel, and canines — to reduce the risk of injury or death from accidental exposure and improve what happens after an exposure. (b) Training: (1) Along with issuing that policy, the Commissioner must require mandatory, recurring training on: (A) the risk of opioid exposure and safe handling procedures, including using personal protective equipment; (B) how to access and give opioid receptor antagonists, including naloxone, after an exposure; and (C) how to use containment devices to prevent exposure. (2) This training can be integrated into CBP's existing training under section 211(l). (c) Equipment: Along with issuing the policy, the Commissioner must make sure personal protective equipment, opioid receptor antagonists (including naloxone), and containment devices are available to all CBP officers, agents, other personnel, and canines who are at risk of accidental synthetic opioid exposure. (d) Oversight: To keep the policy effective — (1) the Commissioner must regularly monitor how well the policy is being carried out and adjust protocols and procedures as needed; and (2) the Department's Inspector General must audit compliance with this section at least once during the three years after December 27, 2020.
