Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the SAFE Act of 2022 or the Save Americans from the Fentanyl Emergency Act of 2022, amends the Controlled Substances Act to permanently schedule fentanyl-related substances in Schedule I, with some exceptions. It also modifies the mandatory minimum penalties for fentanyl and fentanyl analogues, exempting fentanyl-related substances from these penalties. The bill provides a process for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to remove or reschedule fentanyl-related substances, and allows courts to resentence individuals previously convicted of offenses involving fentanyl-related substances that have since been removed or rescheduled. Additionally, the bill establishes expedited registration procedures for researchers working with Schedule I controlled substances, and requires increased transparency from the Attorney General regarding special registration processes.
