Dem looks to codify new AG Bondi’s desired crackdown on ‘zombie drug’ xylazine
Fox News
A Democrat is leading the effort to put into law new policy from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s first day on the job cracking down on dangerous drugs.
"My bipartisan, bicameral bill would crack down on illegal use of xylazine while protecting its legitimate use by veterinarians and ranchers. It’s time for Congress to act now and pass this life-saving legislation," she said. Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate. She was previously a politics reporter at the Washington Examiner.

On Bondi's first day as AG, she directed the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Office of Legal Policy (OLP) and the Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA) to advocate for several legislative reforms, including "Adding xylazine, which has no legitimate human use and makes fentanyl even more lethal, to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act."
