Bill Summary

Drug Control Act; Schedule I; penalties. Adds certain chemicals to Schedule I of the Drug Control Act. The Board of Pharmacy has added these substances in an expedited regulatory process. A substance added via this process is removed from the schedule after 18 months unless a general law is enacted adding the substance to the schedule.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Drug Control Act by adding several new chemicals to Schedule I, which is a classification for drugs with a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. These additions are made through an expedited regulatory process by the Board of Pharmacy, meaning they are temporarily added to the schedule for 18 months unless a permanent law is enacted to include them. The bill lists specific chemical names and their common alternative names for clarity.
