AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Public Health Law to classify the drug xylazine as a Schedule I controlled substance. It also amends the New York Penal Law to include xylazine or preparations, compounds, mixtures, or substances containing xylazine as "adulterant depressants" for the purposes of criminal sale and possession offenses. The bill enhances the criminal penalties for the sale and possession of these substances, which are often used to adulterate other drugs like heroin and fentanyl. The goal of the bill is to address the growing problem of xylazine-related overdoses and its increasing presence in the illegal drug supply.
