What’s happening with Combating Illicit Xylazine Act?
As of June 24, 2026, the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act is split between a stalled Senate bill and a House bill moving through committee. The full Senate must now vote on S. 545 to advance the effort, but limited floor time remains the primary constraint. While reaching the Senate calendar on April 14, 2026, is a significant milestone that most bills fail to achieve, leadership must still choose to prioritize this proposal for a final vote.
