Providing Resources for Exceptional Veterans to End Narcotic Trafficking of Fentanyl Act or the PREVENT Fentanyl Act

This bill expands the Human Exploitation Rescue Operation Child-Rescue Corps program to address fentanyl trafficking. (The program, which is part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, trains eligible members and veterans of the Armed Forces as computer forensic analysts to combat child exploitation.)

Under this bill, program participants must investigate and analyze fentanyl trafficking in addition to the issues required under current law, such as child exploitation and human trafficking.

The bill also changes the name of the program to the Human Exploitation Rescue Operation Corps.
