What the document says

“Congress agrees with the interpretation of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) in United States v. McCray, 346 F. Supp. 3d 363 (W.D.N.Y. 2018).”

To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes, Sec. 7

A sense of Congress. It states that Congress agrees with the reading of the Controlled Substances Act given in United States v. McCray, a 2018 decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The section says nothing about what that reading is, and the decision is not indexed here. A sense of Congress states a view rather than a requirement.

What the document actually says

“Congress agrees with the interpretation of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) in United States v. McCray, 346 F. Supp. 3d 363 (W.D.N.Y. 2018).”

To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes, Sec. 7
That sentence, in plain words

Congress says it agrees with one court ruling. The ruling was about how to read the drug law.

What this is about

The ruling came from a court in New York in 2018. This law does not say what the ruling held. It only says Congress agrees with it.

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.
