Bill > SB2064

This bill updates North Dakota's controlled substances schedules by adding and modifying various substances across Schedule I, Schedule III, and Schedule IV. Specifically, the bill makes several key changes: In Schedule I, it expands the list of synthetic cannabinoids, fentanyl derivatives, and substituted phenethylamines by adding numerous new chemical compounds and variations. In Schedule III, it updates the list of anabolic steroids by adding many new substances and removing language about salts and esters that promote muscle growth. In Schedule IV, it adds a new substance called zuranolone and includes a pharmaceutical composition of psilocybin (COMP360). The bill is declared an emergency measure, which means it would take effect immediately upon becoming law, allowing rapid implementation of these controlled substance schedule updates. These modifications are typical of ongoing efforts by states to keep controlled substance regulations current with emerging synthetic drugs and pharmaceutical developments.
