KCII News spoke with Senator Chuck Grassley about the bipartisan bill called the Cooper Davis Act, which he is a co-sponsor of. “That deals with one of the major problems we have with one hundred and seven thousand people dying from a drug overdose. Cooper was a young boy who was sold drugs online and died. And we’ve got to make sure that we have the tech companies mindful of their platforms being misused to sell these drugs and try to intervene so people like Cooper don’t die.” The bill is to amend the Controlled Substances Act to require electronic communication service providers and remote computing services to report to the Attorney General certain controlled substances violations. The bill is named after 16-year-old Cooper Davis, a Kansas City teen who died in August of 2021 when he split what he thought was a Percocet pill with his friends. That Percocet pill ended up being laced with fentanyl causing Davis’s death.
