Bill > AB1778

This bill proposes to add Section 11056.5 to California's Health and Safety Code, which governs controlled substances. Currently, under both state and federal law, testosterone is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it has a moderate to low potential for abuse and dependence. This bill aims to ensure that California's classification of testosterone automatically aligns with its federal classification. Specifically, if testosterone is removed from Schedule III of the federal Controlled Substances Act, or if it is reclassified or exempted from that act, this bill would automatically update its status in California accordingly, without requiring separate state legislative action. The context for this is that federal law dictates the scheduling of controlled substances, and this bill seeks to maintain consistency between state and federal regulations for testosterone.
