U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) is attempting to add amendments to S. 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for 2017, that would dramatically worsen mandatory minimum sentences for fentanyl offenses. The amendments, S. Amdts. 4082 and 4083, if passed by Congress, would incarcerate low-level users, addicts, and small-quantity sellers for 5, 10, 20 years, or even life without parole for as little as 0.5 grams of any substance containing trace amounts of fentanyl.

Take Action!
