SB 1095: controlled substances; schedule designations

Sponsor:  Senator Pace, LD 25

Committee on Health & Human Services

Overview

Requires the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy (Board) to adopt the federal regulations regarding scheduled controlled substances.

History

The Controlled Substance Act (CSA) is the federal statute that places all substances regulated under federal law into one of five schedules. The classification is based on the substance's medical use, potential for abuse and safety or dependency liability. The process to add, delete or change the schedule of a substance may be initiated by the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services or by a petition from an interested party (21 U.S.C. § 812).

The Board is required to: 1) adopt rules to protect the public regarding the practice of pharmacy, including the manufacturing and supplying of drugs or hazardous substances; 2) investigate compliance as to the quality and labeling of all drugs; and 3) license pharmacists and pharmacy interns. The Board may also outline rules for professional conduct of pharmacy professionals (A.R.S. § 32-1904).

Provisions

1. Requires the Board to adopt by rule the schedule I, II, III, IV and V controlled substances listed in the CSA and amend the rules to reflect any changes in the controlled substance designations. (Sec. 13-17)

2. Removes certain schedule I, II, III, IV and V controlled substances currently listed in statute. (Sec. 13-17)

3. Makes technical and conforming changes (Sec. 1-19).
