What the document says
“Effective as if included in the enactment of the Temporary Reauthorization and Study of the Emergency Scheduling of Fentanyl Analogues Act (Public Law 116-114)”
The section makes its amendment effective as if it had been included when Public Law 116-114 was enacted, so that no gap opens between March 31, 2025 and the date this Act was approved on March 15, 2025.
What the document actually says
“Effective as if included in the enactment of the Temporary Reauthorization and Study of the Emergency Scheduling of Fentanyl Analogues Act (Public Law 116-114)”
That sentence, in plain words
This change counts as if it had been part of the older law all along.
What this is about
Sometimes a law is fixed after the old one has run out. Then there is a gap in time. This wording closes that gap.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
