UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding controlled substances.

RS29987 / H0004

The Idaho Board of Pharmacy administers the regulatory provisions of the state's Uniform Controlled Substances Act. This bill mirrors the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) controlled substance scheduling decisions for 2022, including placing synthetic opioids in Schedule I, a substance to treat insomnia in Schedule IV and an anticonvulsant substance in Schedule V.

This legislation will have no impact on the state's General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund because adding, removing, or rescheduling products to the Controlled Substances Act does not create any new state program and does not compel any state action.
