Provides that notwithstanding the scheduling of xylazine as a Schedule III controlled substance, xylazine shall not be considered a controlled substance when: (1) used by licensed Illinois veterinarians dispensing or prescribing for, or administering to, a nonhuman species of a drug containing xylazine that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; (2) used by licensed Illinois veterinarians dispensing or prescribing for, or administering to, a nonhuman species that is permissible under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) manufactured, distributed, or used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient for manufacturing an animal drug approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (4) used by a licensed certified euthanasia technician employed by a certified euthanasia agency; or (5) used by a wildlife biologist engaged in legal or authorized fieldwork under the indirect supervision of a veterinarian.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act to schedule xylazine, a drug used in veterinary medicine, as a Schedule III controlled substance. However, it provides exceptions that allow licensed Illinois veterinarians, certified euthanasia technicians, and wildlife biologists under the supervision of a veterinarian to use xylazine without it being considered a controlled substance. The bill aims to regulate the use of xylazine while still permitting its legitimate medical and research applications.
