Bill > S1049

This bill declares that acetyl fentanyl, a synthetic opioid often referred to as synthetic heroin, will be classified as a Class B controlled substance, meaning it will be regulated similarly to other dangerous drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine. This change is being made as an emergency law to immediately protect public safety, as the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose. The bill specifically amends existing law by adding acetyl fentanyl to the list of substances classified as Class B, alongside alphaprodine.
