Plain-English Summary

The bill would classify nitazene, a synthetic opioid, as a controlled substance under federal law, making it illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess without authorization. This would give law enforcement tools to prosecute people involved in nitazene trafficking and production, similar to how they handle other dangerous drugs like fentanyl. The change aims to address the growing public health threat from nitazene, which has been increasingly found in illicit drug supplies and linked to overdose deaths.
