NJ A998

Codifies seven illicit fentanyl derivatives into Schedule I of New Jersey's Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, making their placement in statute rather than solely in administrative code

Specific substances added include Furanyl Fentanyl, 3-Methylfentanyl, 3-Methyl Butyrylfentanyl, Valeryl Fentanyl, Norfentanyl, Para-Fluorobutyryl-Fentanyl, and Carfentanyl

Illicit fentanyls are defined as materials not listed in existing schedules, not FDA-approved, and containing specified chemical compounds including their salts, isomers, and analogs

Prescription fentanyl remains a Schedule II substance and is not affected by this bill

Manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing one ounce or more of these Schedule I substances constitutes a second-degree crime punishable by 5-10 years imprisonment and/or fines up to $150,000
