What the document says
“Section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(60) The term `fentanyl-related substance' has the meaning given the term in subsection (e)(2) of schedule I of section 202(c).''.”
A paragraph (60) added at the end of section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802). It gives the term fentanyl-related substance the meaning set out in the schedule I entry that section 2 of this Act adds, so the same definition carries through the Act.
What the document actually says
“Section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(60) The term `fentanyl-related substance' has the meaning given the term in subsection (e)(2) of schedule I of section 202(c).''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The word list in the drug law gains one more entry. It says the new group means what part 2 of this law says it means.
What this is about
Part 2 sets out the group in the strictest list. This entry points to that wording. So the term means the same thing everywhere in the older law.
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, 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.
