Bill > LB475

This bill seeks to classify tianeptine as a controlled substance by adding it to Schedule IV of the Nebraska Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Tianeptine is a pharmaceutical substance previously not explicitly listed in the state's controlled substances schedules. By adding it to Schedule IV, the bill will regulate the drug's possession, distribution, and use, likely in response to concerns about its potential for abuse or misuse. Schedule IV substances are typically drugs with a lower potential for abuse compared to Schedule II or III substances, but still require medical supervision and prescription. The bill amends the existing law by inserting tianeptine into the list of controlled substances in Section 28-405 and repeals the original section to update the legal framework governing controlled substances in Nebraska.
