Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Continuous and Enduring Action to Stop Every Overdose Act of 2023 (CEASE Overdose Act of 2023), amends the Controlled Substances Act to add a new class scheduling provision for fentanyl-related substances. The bill defines "fentanyl-related substance" broadly to include any substance structurally similar to fentanyl, with certain exceptions, and schedules these substances under Schedule I. This classification would subject fentanyl-related substances to the same strict regulatory controls and criminal penalties as other Schedule I drugs, which are considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.
