What the document says

“``(6) Importation and exportation requirements not affected.--Nothing in this subsection alters the requirements of part A of title III, regarding the importation and exportation of controlled substances.”

To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

A savings clause. The new subsection leaves the requirements of part A of title III, on the importation and exportation of controlled substances, as they stand. Those requirements are in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“``(6) Importation and exportation requirements not affected.--Nothing in this subsection alters the requirements of part A of title III, regarding the importation and exportation of controlled substances.”

To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

This rule does not touch the rules on bringing drugs in or sending them out. Those rules stay as they are.

What this is about

A researcher may get a drug from abroad. The older rules still cover that step. The faster route here does not change 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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
