AI Summary
This bill codifies the temporary scheduling order for fentanyl-related substances by adding them to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Specifically, it defines "fentanyl-related substance" as any substance that is not listed in another schedule, has not been approved or granted an exemption for investigational use by the FDA, and is structurally related to fentanyl in various ways, such as by replacing the phenyl portion or substituting the piperidine ring. The bill aims to enhance the federal government's ability to regulate and address the trafficking and distribution of fentanyl-related substances, which have contributed to the ongoing opioid crisis in the United States.
