“Section 309A(a) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 829a(a)) is amended by striking paragraph (2) and inserting the following:”

The section strikes paragraph (2) of section 309A(a) of the Controlled Substances Act and puts new text in its place. That older statute is not indexed here, so what the struck paragraph said is not recorded.

What the document actually says

“Section 309A(a) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 829a(a)) is amended by striking paragraph (2) and inserting the following:”

To reauthorize certain programs that provide for opioid use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery, and for other purposes, Sec. 401
That sentence, in plain words

One piece of an older law is cut out. New words take its place. The new words follow right after.

What this is about

This part of the drug law is about a pharmacy sending a drug to a prescriber. The prescriber then gives it to the patient. This section changes one of the tests that must be met.

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.
