Two cases in which a substance is not treated as fentanyl-related
What the document says“``(3) A substance that satisfies the definition of the term `fentanyl-related substance' in paragraph (2) shall nonetheless not be treated as a fentanyl-related substance subject to this schedule if the substance-- ``(A) is controlled by action of the Attorney General under section 201; or ``(B) is otherwise expressly listed in a schedule other than this schedule.”
A substance that meets the definition is still not treated as a fentanyl-related substance under this schedule entry if the Attorney General has controlled it by action under section 201 of the Controlled Substances Act, or if it is expressly listed in some other schedule. What section 201 provides is in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says“``(3) A substance that satisfies the definition of the term `fentanyl-related substance' in paragraph (2) shall nonetheless not be treated as a fentanyl-related substance subject to this schedule if the substance-- ``(A) is controlled by action of the Attorney General under section 201; or ``(B) is otherwise expressly listed in a schedule other than this schedule.”
A drug can fit the group and still be left out of it. That happens if it is already on another list. It also happens if the Attorney General has acted on it.
Drug law has more than one list. This rule is about drugs that are already placed. The new group does not reach them.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
