AI Summary
This bill aims to codify the temporary scheduling order for fentanyl-related substances by adding them to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. This means that fentanyl-related substances, which are not currently approved for medical use and have a high potential for abuse, will be classified as illegal drugs under federal law. The bill provides a detailed definition of "fentanyl-related substance" to ensure that a wide range of synthetic opioids are covered under this new scheduling, effectively expanding the government's ability to crack down on the illegal trafficking of these dangerous substances.
