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.
The Stop Pills That Kill Act aims to strengthen laws around the distribution and possession of dangerous substances like fentanyl and its analogues, as well as counterfeit drugs. It would update the Controlled Substances Act to include stricter penalties for those involved in the illicit trade of these substances.
This bill would primarily impact law enforcement agencies, healthcare providers, and individuals involved in the illegal drug trade. By making it harder to obtain and distribute these dangerous substances, the bill aims to reduce overdoses and save lives.
As of the last update on March 19, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to multiple committees for further review. It has successfully passed a report stage and is now moving forward in the legislative process. On September 15, 2026, the House voted to suspend the rules and pass the bill as amended by a voice vote.
