House Republican introduces bill to permanently upgrade classification of fentanyl-related substances
Fox News
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito introduced a bill Tuesday to make fentanyl-related substances a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substance Act.
"No community in the United States has been spared by the harrowing effects of the drug epidemic. Fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances are invading our communities and Congress must make permanent this drug’s temporary scheduling order," D’Esposito said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Too many Americans are falling victim to drug overdose or addiction due to fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances, and we must ensure that those who distribute these drugs are punished to the fullest extent of the law. I urge my colleagues to put politics aside and support this needed and necessary legislation." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

Schedule I substances are considered by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to have the highest potential for abuse and the potential to create severe psychological and/or physical dependence. The temporary scheduling order placing fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act expires on Dec. 31, 2024.
