What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new annual reporting requirement to the Controlled Substances Act.

The Attorney General must submit a report to Congress every year starting one year after the Act is passed.

  • The report must state the number of fentanyl-related substances found and list the scientific names of any newly identified substances.

  • It must describe any scientific or medical evaluations performed on these substances by the Attorney General or the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

  • The report must identify substances where evaluations found an accepted medical use or a lower potential for abuse than substances in Schedule I, and note the control status of those substances.

  • It must also include the number of criminal cases where an offense involving the fentanyl-related substance was charged.
