South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has joined 22 other Attorneys General in asking the US Senate leadership to pass the HALT Fentanyl Act.
This legislation would permanently schedule all current and future fentanyl analogues as Schedule I drugs, which are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
Jackley says that designation would allow for the criminal prosecution of anyone caught possessing, distributing, or manufacturing illicit variations of the drug.
The bill has already passed the US House.
