The same appropriations law provided $35,000,000 for competitive grants to statewide law enforcement agencies in states with high rates of heroin and other opioid treatment admissions, for investigative purposes to locate or investigate illicit activities and opioid traffickers through statewide collaboration.

This is the closest direct funding match: state law-enforcement grants for investigations related to opioid distribution and traffickers, a category that includes fentanyl enforcement even though the line item names heroin and prescription opioids rather than fentanyl.

Public Law 119-26 is the HALT Fentanyl Act, enacted July 16, 2025. It amends the Controlled Substances Act with respect to scheduling fentanyl-related substances and places fentanyl-related substances in Schedule I unless exempted or otherwise scheduled.

The anti-fentanyl enforcement measure supported by Moolenaar ultimately became law, supporting the anti-trafficking portion of the promise but not the funding-for-state-and-local-law-enforcement portion.
