AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act by making several key changes to the classification and regulation of controlled substances. Specifically, the bill adds xylazine as a Class III controlled substance, providing several specific exemptions for its use by veterinarians, euthanasia technicians, and wildlife biologists. The bill also expands the definition of "isomer" and introduces detailed provisions for categorizing synthetic cannabinoids and piperazines, as well as establishing a comprehensive framework for defining and listing fentanyl-related substances. The bill removes several specific fentanyl-related compounds from previous listings and replaces them with a more comprehensive and flexible definition that allows for future adaptations in identifying potentially dangerous substances. The new provisions aim to provide law enforcement and regulatory agencies with more flexible tools to address emerging drug threats, particularly synthetic and chemically modified substances that may pose risks to public health. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, giving state agencies time to prepare for implementation of these new regulations.
