Bill > S729

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to classify tianeptine as a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance, meaning it is recognized for medical use but has a high potential for abuse that may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. This change is being made to Section 6 of P.L.1970, c.226, which outlines the criteria and substances for Schedule II classification, a category that includes potent drugs like fentanyl and methadone. The bill specifically adds tianeptine, along with any of its salts, sulfates, free acids, or chemically equivalent preparations, to the list of controlled substances within this schedule. This legislation will become effective 30 days after its enactment.
