AN ACT RELATING TO FOOD AND DRUGS -- UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT
Signed by Governor
Summary
The bill deletes the existing definition section of the state’s Uniform Controlled Substances Act and replaces it with updated definitions, including new terms for acute, chronic and intractable pain and co‑prescribing of opioid antagonists. It also eliminates Chapter 5‑37.4, the Intractable Pain Treatment Act, and sets the changes to take effect immediately upon passage. The goal is to align the controlled substances framework with current medical practice and remove outdated dosage limits.
