"The number of overdose deaths caused by tranq is growing every day, and we need to get this dangerous drug off our streets right now. My updated legislation reflects months of work to strengthen the bill, grow its support, and ensure that law enforcement has the tools they need to crack down on xylazine while protecting its legitimate use in veterinary medicine. I'll continue to work with my colleagues in the House and the Senate to pass this critical bill into law as soon as possible and keep our communities safe."
