The Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act introduces significant changes to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances under the Controlled Substances Act. It defines 'fentanyl-related substances' and establishes a framework for their regulation, ensuring that any substance structurally related to fentanyl is treated as a controlled substance unless specifically exempted. The Act also streamlines research registration processes for practitioners working with schedule I substances, allowing for expedited procedures and reduced regulatory burdens. Additionally, it mandates the Attorney General to publish lists of controlled substances and ensures that research on newly scheduled substances can continue under certain conditions.
