Modifies provisions relating to the ordering and administration of ketamine for mental health purposes

Summary

The proposal would replace the existing statute on controlled‑substance prescribing with new rules that restrict who can order and give ketamine for mental‑health care. Only physicians could order the drug, and any intravenous administration would require a physician‑signed diagnosis and treatment plan, with a physician on‑site if a nurse anesthetist administers it. The change aims to improve safety and supervision of ketamine use.
