Bill overview
This bill, the Stopping Overdoses of Fentanyl Analogues Act, aims to combat the opioid crisis by scheduling a wider range of fentanyl-related substances as controlled under federal law. Specifically, it adds seven distinct fentanyl analogues – isobutyryl fentanyl, para-methoxybutyrylfentanyl, valeryl fentanyl, cyclopentyl fentanyl, para-chloroisobutyryl fentanyl, 4′-methyl acetyl fentanyl, and crotonyl fentanyl – and broadens the definition of ‘fentanyl-related substances’ to include many similar compounds. This expanded scheduling will make it more difficult to obtain and distribute these dangerous drugs, potentially reducing overdose deaths.
