Bill > H0029

This bill amends Idaho's Uniform Controlled Substances Act to update the lists of substances in Schedule I, Schedule III, and Schedule IV. Specifically, the bill makes numerous technical revisions by adding new controlled substances and synthetic drugs to these schedules. In Schedule I, the bill adds multiple new variations of fentanyl-related substances, synthetic cannabinoids, and other psychoactive compounds. For Schedule III, the bill adds several new anabolic steroids and chemical variations of existing controlled substances. In Schedule IV, the bill adds a new substance called zuranolone to the list of depressants. The bill declares an emergency and sets the effective date as July 1, 2025, which means the changes to the controlled substances schedules will take effect immediately on that date. These modifications are intended to keep the state's drug scheduling current with emerging synthetic drugs and chemical variations that may pose public health and safety risks, allowing law enforcement and regulatory agencies to better control potentially dangerous substances.
