This part puts the new group of drugs into the punishment rules. It does that for drug crimes at home. It does the same for bringing drugs in and sending them out. It also adds the meaning of the group to the list of word meanings.

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 the document actually says
“Section 401(b)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)) is amended--”
That sentence, in plain words
A rule in the drug law is being changed. The rule sets punishments.
What this is about
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.

The document says “means”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 6 in the PDF
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.
Each thing the section does: the insertion of the words ``or a fentanyl-related substance'' into two penalty provisions of the Controlled Substances Act, the same insertion into two provisions of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act, and the addition of a definition of the term to section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act.
The inserted words are not quoted in the first two entries. The printer broke ``fentanyl-related'' across a line at every point in the section where the phrase is inserted, and this site does not quote across a word broken at a line end, so the insertions are described instead and the amending clause is quoted.
The section works by amending section 401(b)(1) and section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1) and 802) and section 1010(b) of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 960(b)), none of which is indexed here. So nothing recorded says what penalty any of those provisions carries, or what they said before this Act.
