Show full summary
  • Law enforcement and prosecutors: Would let authorities charge these chemicals under Schedule I and apply felony penalties in 21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1) and import/export penalties in 21 U.S.C. 960(b) without proving the separate "controlled substance analogue" definition.
  • People who make, sell, import, or possess these chemicals: Would face Schedule I criminal penalties when substances, their salts, isomers, or salts of isomers fall under the bill's structural definition.
  • Regulatory certainty: Would convert the Drug Enforcement Administration's temporary Schedule I order into a permanent statutory listing, replacing the temporary order that expires March 31, 2025, and would take effect one day after enactment.
