The bill text names Mr. Stutzman as introducing the No Leniency for Fentanyl Dealers Act. It would replace fentanyl thresholds of 400 and 40 grams with 20 and 2 grams, replace analogue thresholds of 100 and 10 grams with 5 and 0.5 grams, and require the Postmaster General to expand chemical screening devices, personnel, and $9 million in USPS interdiction resources.

Quiver lists H.R. 9937 as the No Leniency for Fentanyl Dealers Act, with Marlin A. Stutzman as sponsor. Its recorded actions are introduction in the House on July 23, 2026, and referral that day to Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, and Oversight and Government Reform.
Assessments
Stutzman introduced H.R. 9937, the No Leniency for Fentanyl Dealers Act, in the same federal term, and the bill directly matches the promise by lowering fentanyl and analogue mandatory-minimum thresholds and adding Postal Service interdiction resources. The available status evidence shows introduction and committee referral only, with no passage or enactment, so the promised outcome has not yet been delivered but remains pending with clear legislative effort.
