Bill overview
The STOP Nitazenes Act permanently schedules 2-benzylbenzimidazole opioids, commonly known as nitazenes, as Schedule 1 controlled substances. This means these potent synthetic opioids – including substances like etonitazene and clonitazene – will be subject to stricter regulations and controls to prevent their illicit production and distribution. The bill also addresses substances structurally similar to nitazenes, ensuring a comprehensive approach to limiting access to these dangerous drugs and provides a timeline for the Department of Justice to create implementing regulations.
