Bill > SB860

This bill amends Oklahoma's Controlled Dangerous Substances Act by updating Schedule I to include several new substances and categories of controlled substances. Specifically, the bill adds numerous synthetic cannabinoids, including various chemical groups like naphthoylindoles, naphthylmethylindoles, and phenylacetylindoles, which are typically designed to mimic the effects of marijuana. The bill also adds a new provision prohibiting kratom products and ensures that any prescription drug designated, rescheduled, or deleted as a controlled substance by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration will be automatically updated in Oklahoma's schedule, unless the State Board of Pharmacy takes specific action. The comprehensive update aims to expand the list of controlled substances to include emerging synthetic drugs and align state regulations with federal drug scheduling. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, providing time for law enforcement, healthcare providers, and regulatory agencies to prepare for the new classifications.
