What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
