This week U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced the Temporary Emergency Scheduling and Testing of Fentanyl Analogues (TEST) Act, which was immediately welcomed by civil rights organizations and policy experts, reported the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA).
The proposed legislation would ask the federal government to test fentanyl-related substances (FRS), which are classified as Schedule 1 substances, and for the Attorney General to remove those that are not dangerous.
