Replaces 4-anilino-N-phenethyl-4-piperidine (CASRN 21409-26-7) in Schedule II with 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine (ANPP);\n\n2. Deletes Samidorphan from Schedule II; and\n\n3. Adds the following chemicals into Schedule I:\n\na. Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation that contains any quantity of a fentanyl-related substance or that contains the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of a fentanyl-related substance whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.\n\nb. For purposes of subdivision 3 a of this section, except as provided in subdivision 3 c of this section, the term \"fentanyl-related substance\" means any substance that is structurally related to fentanyl by one or more of the following modifications:\n\n(1) By replacement of the phenyl portion of the phenethyl group by any monocycle, whether or not further substituted in or on the monocycle;\n\n(2) By substitution in or on the phenethyl group with alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyl, hydroxyl, halo, haloalkyl, amino, or nitro groups;\n\n(3) By substitution in or on the piperidine ring with alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyl, ester, ether, hydroxyl, halo, haloalkyl, amino, or nitro groups;\n\n(4) By replacement of the aniline ring with any aromatic monocycle, whether or not further substituted in or on the aromatic monocycle; or\n\n(5) By replacement of the N-propionyl group with another acyl group.\n\nc. A substance that satisfies the definition of the term \"fentanyl-related substance\" in subdivision 3 b of this section shall not be treated as a fentanyl-related substance subject to Schedule I if the substance is expressly listed in a schedule other than Schedule I.\n\nd. The absence of a substance from Schedule I in the Drug Control Act (§ 54.1-3400 et seq of the Code of Virginia) or board regulation does not negate the control status of the substance under Schedule I if the substance satisfies the definition of the term \"fentanyl-related substance\" in subdivision 3 b of this section and does not meet the exception requirement of subdivision 3 c of this section.","path":["Title 18.
