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.
Assessments
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.
