 H.R. 5788 Securing the International Mail Against Opioids Act of 2018 (Subject to a Rule) Yes This bill will prevent dangerous and illegal drugs such as synthetic opioids from entering the United States, which will disrupt a vulnerability in the United States Postal Service (USPS) that allows criminals to ship synthetic opioids into the U.S. Specifically, it requires the USPS to transmit advance electronic data (AED) to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on at least 70 percent of international packages by December 31, 2018, and 100 percent of international packages by December 31, 2002 to better track the shipment of illicit drugs.

239 – 142

 H.R. 2851 Stop the Importation and Trafficking of Synthetic Analogues Act of 2017, Rules Committee Print (Subject to a Rule) Yes This bill closes a dangerous loophole and ensures our laws to keep pace with the creation of new drugs and provide law enforcement the tools to keep drugs off the street. By amending the Controlled Substances Act and creating a new category for controlled substances, this bill allows synthetic drugs to be temporarily and permanently controlled to curtail illicit manufacturing, importation, and distribution to help keep these dangerous drugs out of our communities. .

SUSPENSION BILLS

**A suspension bill is a bill passed by the House through suspending the rules to move quickly, circumventing the House Rules Committee. Suspension bills are typically less controversial pieces of legislation, and as the rules are being suspended, they require a higher threshold, two-thirds of those voting in the House, to pass. Additionally, these bills are often passed by a voice vote, without a formal roll call vote.
