This bill adds the entire category of fentanyl-related substances to schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to list fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I controlled substances. Schedule I substances are drugs, substances, or chemicals that have a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use, and are subject to strict regulatory controls and penalties. The bill defines "fentanyl-related substances" as any substance that is structurally related to fentanyl through various modifications, such as replacing the phenyl portion, substituting the phenethyl group, substituting the piperidine ring, replacing the aniline ring, or replacing the N-propionyl group. This classification means fentanyl-related substances will face the same level of regulatory control and penalties as fentanyl itself.
