Stop Pills That Kill Act
To amend the Controlled Substances Act to prohibit certain acts related to fentanyl, analogues of fentanyl, and counterfeit substances, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB8005, aims to change the Controlled Substances Act by making it illegal to engage in specific activities involving fentanyl, substances similar to fentanyl, and counterfeit drugs. The goal is to stop the illegal and dangerous distribution of these harmful substances.
The changes proposed in the bill would primarily affect people who manufacture, distribute, or possess these dangerous substances. By making it illegal to do these things, the bill hopes to reduce the number of harmful and potentially deadly drugs on the streets.
As of now, the bill was introduced on March 19, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Energy and Commerce for further review. On July 15, 2026, the House Subcommittee held a mark-up session to consider the bill, and it was then forwarded to the full committee with some changes. It's still in the early stages of the legislative process, and more steps need to be taken before it can become law.
