Summary
The Nitazene Control Act permanently schedules the entire class of 2-benzylbenzimidazole opioids (commonly known as nitazenes) as Schedule I controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act. These synthetic opioids, some more potent than fentanyl, have emerged in the illicit drug supply and contributed to overdose deaths. The class-wide scheduling approach preemptively addresses future analog variants.
Latest Action
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
