Bill > AB634

This bill adds tianeptine to Schedule I of the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act, which is the most restrictive category of controlled substances. By placing tianeptine in Schedule I, the bill will make it illegal to prescribe, possess, sell, or use this substance without authorization, with potential criminal penalties. Tianeptine is a chemical compound that has been used as an antidepressant in some countries but has recently gained attention for its potential for abuse and harmful side effects. The bill also includes a provision stating that local agencies will not be reimbursed for any costs associated with implementing this new law, as it relates to creating a new crime (possessing or distributing tianeptine). This is part of California's ongoing efforts to regulate substances that pose potential risks to public health and safety by restricting their availability and use through the controlled substances scheduling system.
