Bill > SB1622

This bill amends section 13-3401 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which defines various terms related to narcotic drugs and controlled substances. The key changes involve updating the list of narcotic drugs to include several new substances while removing and reordering some existing entries. Specifically, the bill adds new narcotic drugs such as Butonitazene, Etodesnitazene, Etonitazepyne, Flunitazene, Isotonitazene, Metodesnitazene, Metonitazene, and Protonitazene to the existing comprehensive list. The modifications also involve shifting the lettering of the entries to accommodate the new additions, which appears to be a technical update to maintain the organized structure of the definition. The bill does not fundamentally change the purpose of the existing law, which is to provide a detailed definition of narcotic drugs for legal and regulatory purposes, but rather expands the list to include emerging substances that may pose similar risks or have similar properties to existing controlled substances.
