Bill > S689

This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to define the term "currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions." This includes drugs that are active metabolites, moieties, or ingredients of investigational new drugs that have been designated as breakthrough therapies or authorized for expanded access to treat serious or life-threatening diseases. The bill also modifies the authority and criteria for the Attorney General to classify substances, including setting timelines for the Attorney General to issue an interim final rule if a drug no longer has a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.
