AN ACT To amend Chapter 13 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to controlled substances, so as to provide for certain provisions relating to Schedule I controlled substances; to provide for certain provisions relating to the definition of dangerous drugs; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Georgia's laws concerning controlled substances and dangerous drugs. Specifically, it updates the definition of Schedule I controlled substances by allowing for certain chemical substitutions at the 5- or 6-position of a molecule, including nitro, alkyl, halide, cyano, or acetyl groups, or a primary amine. It also adds a lengthy list of new substances to the definition of dangerous drugs, which are typically prescription medications that require a doctor's order. Additionally, the bill makes several changes to existing dangerous drug classifications, removing specific descriptors like "Fc-VWF-XTEN fusion protein-ehtl" from antihemophilic factor, "Live" from chikungunya vaccine, and "mRNA" from COVID-19 vaccine, while also revising the conditions under which epinephrine, particularly in metered-dose inhalers for asthma or emergency allergic reactions, is classified.
