AI Summary
This bill, the Continuous and Enduring Action to Stop Every Overdose Act of 2022 (CEASE Overdose Act of 2022), amends the Controlled Substances Act to add a new class scheduling for "fentanyl-related substances." The bill defines these substances as any that are structurally related to fentanyl, a powerful opioid, through specific modifications outlined in the legislation. This class scheduling would apply to these substances unless they are already controlled under a different schedule or exempted. The goal is to address the growing issue of fentanyl-related overdoses by expanding the legal classification of these potentially dangerous substances.
