Text contains those laws in effect on August 27, 2026. Section 2334 says the Fentanyl Sanctions Act chapter and sanctions imposed under it terminate 7 years after December 20, 2019.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The current official U.S. Code still contains the December 20, 2026 sunset for the Fentanyl Sanctions Act, so reauthorization had not been reflected in current law during the lookback window.

House Foreign Affairs reported that Chairwoman Young Kim delivered opening remarks at the June 4, 2026 hearing. Kim said Congress must keep fentanyl sanctions tools available and stated she was leading an effort to reauthorize fentanyl sanctions set to expire this year.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Kim took concrete public committee action and advocated reauthorization, but this record is an effort signal rather than enactment of the promised reauthorization.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

As of the available August 27-29, 2026 record, the Fentanyl Sanctions Act termination provision still showed a December 20, 2026 sunset and no enacted reauthorization was identified. Kim did take same-term federal action by chairing a June 4, 2026 subcommittee hearing and publicly saying she was leading an effort to reauthorize the fentanyl sanctions before expiration. Because the statutory deadline has not yet passed and the promised reauthorization has not yet been enacted, the promise is not delivered but remains unresolved, with credit for effort.
