STOP Nitazenes Act

Key claim: The STOP Nitazenes Act (HR7970, 119th Congress) was ordered to be reported in the nature of a substitute by a 28–21 vote.

Abstract

(HR7970 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-21): Ordered to be Reported in the Nature of a Substitute by the Yeas and Nays: 28 - 21.

Why this matters

Nitazenes are a class of highly potent synthetic opioids increasingly detected in the illicit drug supply, and the STOP Nitazenes Act would extend the federal controlled-substance framework to address them explicitly. Committee passage by a 28–21 vote signals a partisan but advancing legislative pathway, keeping the bill on track for possible floor action alongside other opioid-scheduling measures such as the HALT Fentanyl Act.
