H.R. 1266

H.R. 1266

Combating Illicit Xylazine Act

Judiciary Committee, Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA)

14 September 2026  |  Reported by committee (Energy and Commerce, as amended, H. Rept. 119-816, Part I)

What's next: Floor scheduling - the bill went to more than one committee (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)

Summary: The bill would classify xylazine, a veterinary sedative increasingly found mixed with fentanyl in illegal drugs, as a controlled substance under federal law. This would make manufacturing and distributing it illegally subject to criminal penalties, require tracking of xylazine transactions, and exempt legitimate veterinary and animal-control uses; the measure also directs federal agencies to study and report on the extent of illicit xylazine use and trafficking.
