Fentanyl-related substances are added to two penalty provisions
What the document says“Section 401(b)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)) is amended--”
In subparagraphs (A)(vi) and (B)(vi) of section 401(b)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act, the words or a fentanyl-related substance are inserted after the reference to any analogue of the compound the provisions name. What penalties those subparagraphs carry, and what quantities they turn on, are in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says“Section 401(b)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)) is amended--”
A rule in the drug law is being changed. The rule sets punishments.
Words are added in two places in that rule. The words name the new group of drugs. So the group is covered by the rule.
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.
