Evidence

The bill page shows the HALT Fentanyl Act became Public Law No. 119-26 on 07/16/2025, and the summary states that it permanently places fentanyl-related substances as a class into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

Congress enacted the permanent Schedule I classification for fentanyl-related substances in Public Law 119-26.

The promised federal policy outcome was enacted: the HALT Fentanyl Act became Public Law 119-26 on July 16, 2025 and permanently placed fentanyl-related substances as a class into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Carter was still serving as U.S. Representative for Georgia's 1st District when it passed, and he was an original House sponsor of the related House bill, so this counts as delivered in the same federal office term with candidate credit.
