Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit certain uses of xylazine, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit the illicit use of xylazine, a veterinary sedative that has become a growing concern as an additive to illegal drugs like fentanyl. The bill defines xylazine and its derivatives as controlled substances, making it unlawful for human use or any use beyond approved veterinary and pharmaceutical applications. It also requires the Attorney General and the Food and Drug Administration to report to Congress on the prevalence and impacts of illicit xylazine use, including recommendations on whether the substance should be rescheduled or removed from the Controlled Substances Act. Finally, the bill declares illicit xylazine use an "emerging drug threat" in the United States, which could enable additional federal resources and coordination to address the issue.
