AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the Controlled Substances Act to list fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I controlled substances. It defines "fentanyl-related substances" as any substance that is structurally similar to fentanyl through various modifications to the chemical structure. The bill also treats fentanyl-related substances as analogues of the controlled substance N-phenyl-N-[1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinyl] propanamide for the purposes of criminal penalties, without requiring proof that the substance meets the definition of a controlled substance analogue. The bill is intended to address the ongoing opioid crisis and the rise in overdoses attributed to fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances.
