Bill Summary

Amending the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64), entitled "An act relating to the manufacture, sale and possession of controlled substances, other drugs, devices and cosmetics; conferring powers on the courts and the secretary and Department of Health, and a newly created Pennsylvania Drug, Device and Cosmetic Board; establishing schedules of controlled substances; providing penalties; requiring registration of persons engaged in the drug trade and for the revocation or suspension of certain licenses and registrations; and repealing an act," further providing for authority to control.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to provide the Secretary of Health with the authority to automatically schedule a substance as a controlled substance under state law when it is added to the federal controlled substances schedules. The bill requires the Secretary to publish a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin of the addition and gives interested parties 30 days to object. If there are no objections, the substance is scheduled as a controlled substance under state law. If there are objections, the Secretary must hold a hearing and then issue an order on whether to schedule the substance.
