S. 331

In plain English

The HALT Fentanyl Act would permanently place fentanyl-related substances in Schedule I, a drug category with strict controls and penalties. People charged with offenses involving these substances would face the same quantity limits and penalties as those involving fentanyl analogues, including a 10-year minimum prison term for offenses involving 100 grams or more. The act would also create another registration process for certain Schedule I research and change some registration rules for researchers working with controlled substances.

The connection table

Organizations that lobbied this bill, and money each gave South Carolina's delegates this cycle: its PAC's contributions (FEC) plus its lobbyists' reported contributions and event payments (LD‑203, group events excluded). Exact name matches only. An empty cell means no matching money was found. Under each name is that delegate’s final vote on the bill (passage or last substantive vote). Delegates who didn’t vote on it, for example because they weren’t serving, are grayed out and left out of the Total column.
