AI Summary

This bill, known as the Stopping Overdoses of Fentanyl Analogues Act, aims to amend the Controlled Substances Act to list fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I controlled substances. Fentanyl-related substances are defined as any substance that is structurally related to fentanyl through 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 change would make it illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess these fentanyl-related substances, with the goal of addressing the ongoing opioid crisis and overdoses associated with these drugs. The bill would take effect one day after enactment.
