AI Summary
This bill further amends the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to provide additional definitions and prohibited acts related to the substance xylazine. Specifically, it defines "licit use of xylazine" to include prescribing or administering xylazine to non-human species, manufacturing or distributing xylazine for approved animal drugs, and other authorized uses under federal law. The bill also adds xylazine and related substances to Schedule III of controlled substances, but exempts licit uses from certain prohibitions. Additionally, the bill requires veterinarians to comply with secure storage requirements for xylazine under the Pharmacy Act.
