Urges the U.S. Congress to enact H.R.128, which would require the Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to treat illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction (WMD)

References the federal definition of WMD under 50 U.S.C. Section 2302, arguing illicit fentanyl qualifies because it can cause death or serious bodily injury to significant numbers of people through toxic chemical dissemination

Emphasizes that WMD designation would empower federal authorities to target international trafficking syndicates and manufacturers while not hindering legal fentanyl use or ongoing treatment and harm reduction efforts

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the President of the United States and all members of the New Jersey Congressional delegation
