Combating Illicit Xylazine Act

Sponsored By: Representative Panetta, Jimmy [D-CA-19]

Passed House

Summary

Designates xylazine as a Schedule III controlled substance and sharply tightens federal control over its manufacture, distribution, and possession. It would add xylazine to federal tracking, narrow who may legally possess it, delay some compliance deadlines to ease transition, and require sentencing and reporting changes to help curb illicit use.

Show full summary
  • Families and animal owners: Legal possession is limited to people who receive xylazine for an animal from a licensed veterinarian or a pharmacy, and to certain government animal programs and their staff. This narrows who can lawfully hold xylazine for pets, farm animals, or wildlife.
  • Veterinarians, pharmacies, and manufacturers: Practitioner registration, inventory, and recordkeeping rules begin after a 60-day transition. Manufacturers get a one-year delay for some security, labeling, and distribution requirements so compliance costs are phased in.
  • Law enforcement and courts: Xylazine will be added to ARCOS for federal tracking and the Sentencing Commission must review penalties for xylazine offenses. The Attorney General must report on illicit xylazine within 18 months and again at four years to inform enforcement and policy.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

New Schedule III rules for xylazine

If enacted, this would place xylazine on Schedule III under federal drug law. Any form or mix of xylazine would be controlled. You would be an ultimate user only if a registered vet or a pharmacy, using a vet’s prescription, dispensed it to you. You must keep it for an animal you or a household member owns, an animal in your care, or for approved animal-control or wildlife work. Government agencies and businesses where animals are kept, and on-duty staff, would be covered. Ultimate users would not need DEA registration. FDA-approved products under sections 505(b) or 505(j) would not face these new ultimate-user limits.

Phase-in rules for vets and makers

If enacted, compliance would phase in. Schedule III labels, packaging, and shipping rules for xylazine would start 1 year after enactment. Practitioner registration, inventory, and record rules would start 60 days after enactment. If a practitioner applies within those 60 days, they would be able to keep working until DEA decides. Makers producing xylazine on the enactment date would not need to install Schedule III security upgrades right away. FDA and DEA would help and speed the needed applications.
