Bill > LB72

This bill updates the Uniform Controlled Substances Act by making several modifications to the controlled substances schedules, primarily by adding numerous new substances to Schedule I. The key provisions include adding multiple new variants of fentanyl, synthetic cannabinoids, phenethylamines, tryptamines, and other chemical compounds to the list of controlled substances. Specifically, the bill adds new substances such as Meta-Fluorofentanyl, Butonitazene, 2-Methyl AP-237, and several other chemical variants to Schedule I. The bill also makes technical changes to cross-references in existing law, renumbering certain sections to accommodate the new additions. The purpose appears to be to keep the state's controlled substances schedule up-to-date with emerging synthetic drugs and new chemical formulations that may pose risks of abuse or addiction. The changes will impact how these substances are regulated, possessed, and prosecuted under state law, potentially increasing penalties for substances that are now explicitly listed in the controlled substances schedule.
