HB 209 -- Controlled Substances

Co-Sponsors:  Hosmer, Williams, McKenna, Kennedy, Ward, Bray,
Boucher, Relford, Jolly

This bill makes changes to laws concerning controlled
substances.  The bill:

(1)  Makes gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) a Schedule I
controlled substance, except in circumstances where GHB or its
derivatives have been approved for medical use, in which case it
is a Schedule III controlled substance.  The bill also makes
ketamine and its derivatives a Schedule III controlled substance
and removes it from the list of Schedule IV substances;

(2)  Adds gamma butyrolactone and 1,4 butanediol to the list of
drugs for which a report is required to the Department of Health
upon all transactions; and

(3)  Removes certain timing and data requirements from the
reports that must be made to the department concerning
controlled substance transactions, but adds new record-keeping
requirements that must meet federal and state department
standards.  The bill authorizes the department to inspect the
establishments of those who transact controlled substances.
