House Roll Call 166 shows S.331, the HALT Fentanyl Act, passed 321-104 on June 12, 2025; Representative Mills, Republican of Florida, voted Yea.
Assessments
Public Law 119-26, approved July 16, 2025, enacted both promised components: expedited Schedule I fentanyl-related research procedures for Department of Defense-conducted or funded research and a DOJ Inspector General report to Congress on fentanyl research. Mills was still serving in federal office and voted Yea on the final House passage of S.331 on June 12, 2025, so the promise counts as delivered with later-term timing.
