What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law classifies controlled substances in one of five schedules. The

classification is based on 1) whether there is a currently accepted medical use for the

controlled substance; 2) the potential of the controlled substance for abuse; and 3) the

nature of the dependence that the controlled substance may produce. Schedule I

controlled substances are those that have a high potential for abuse and dependence

and no currently accepted medical use. This bill adds fentanyl analogs to the

synthetic opiates category under Schedule I and reorganizes some substances from

the general synthetic opiates category to the specific fentanyl analog category. Like

other Schedule I substances, a person who possesses a fentanyl analog is guilty of a

Class I felony and a person who manufactures, distributes, or delivers a fentanyl

analog is guilty of a Class E felony.
