S 223 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Controlled Substances Act to fix a technical error in the definitions.

S 223 corrects a technical error in the numbering of definitions within the Controlled Substances Act (Section 102). This procedural bill reorganizes the definition numbering - specifically moving certain paragraphs - to fix a misplaced reference, without altering any legal definitions or requirements. It directly affects how the law's definitions are structured but does not change substance or policy. The bill was passed by Congress in December 2024 and signed into law.
