Congressman Kean and Colleagues Introduce 'Fight Against Fentanyl Act' to Combat Opioid Crisis

Congressman Kean and Colleagues Introduce 'Fight Against Fentanyl Act' to Combat Opioid Crisis

Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07), alongside Congressmen Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), and Mike Lawler (NY-17), has introduced the 'Fight Against Fentanyl Act.' This legislation aims to amend the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, allowing its funds to be used by law enforcement agencies for the purchase of fentanyl testing kits and opioid reversal agents. The Byrne JAG program is a primary source of federal funding for state and local police jurisdictions. Congressman Kean emphasized the critical need for first responders to have access to these tools to prevent overdoses and deaths caused by fentanyl. This initiative builds on Congressman Kean's previous efforts, including co-introducing the 'American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act' to address illicit fentanyl trafficking with Mexico and supporting the 'HALT Fentanyl Act' which reclassified fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule I drug.

Senator Luján Supports Bill to Expand Financial Aid Access for Students with Disabilities

Senator Luján Supports Bill to Expand Financial Aid Access for Students with Disabilities

U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) has expressed support for the Higher Education Grant Flexibility Act, a bill reintroduced by Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). This legislation aims to expand access to federal financial aid for college students with disabilities who require reduced course loads as an accommodation. The bill would allow these students to remain eligible for the same amount of certain federal financial aid as full-time students, even if they are taking fewer courses. Senator Van Hollen emphasized that higher education opens doors to opportunities for students with disabilities, but many still face barriers to earning their degrees. The legislation has garnered support from several other senators, including Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.).
