Stopping Overdoses of Fentanyl Analogues Act
Introduced Jan 21, 2025 by Sen. Ron Johnson
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill permanently places fentanyl-related substances as a class into schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. A schedule I controlled substance is a drug, substance, or chemical that has a high potential for abuse; has no currently accepted medical value; and is subject to regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal penalties under the Controlled Substances Act.
Fentanyl-related substances are currently regulated under schedule I through a temporary order issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The temporary order expires on March 31, 2025.
