Bill > H1791

This bill amends Section 31 of Chapter 94C of the General Laws to specifically regulate oxycodone by adding a new subsection that classifies any material, compound, mixture, or preparation containing any quantity of oxycodone, including its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers, as a controlled substance if it is manufactured to delay absorption into the blood system. This addition aims to further control the distribution and use of this opioid medication, which is often prescribed for pain management but carries a high risk of addiction and abuse.
