Washington, D.C. (WVDN) – President Trump signed the HALT Fentanyl Act into law. Congressman Riley M. Moore was an original co-sponsor of the House version of the legislation, which permanently classifies fentanyl and fentanyl related substances as a Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act.

“We’ve lost countless lives in West Virginia to fentanyl poisoning. I am very proud to have co-sponsored this legislation and thrilled to see it be signed by President Trump. This new law is a key tool in the fight to reduce overdoses and save lives,” said Congressman Moore. “I will continue to champion policies that push back on this deadly poison which has ravaged our communities. 

BACKGROUND: In recent years, chemically altered fentanyl has been pushed by the drug cartels as a way of getting around existing U.S.’ criminal statutes. The HALT Fentanyl Act closes this loophole.
