Overview
This bill updates Michigan’s laws regarding the scheduling of controlled substances. Specifically, it outlines a process for Michigan to align its scheduling of controlled substances with changes made to the federal schedule. If a substance is reclassified or removed from the federal list of controlled substances, the state’s Department of Health and Human Services must review and decide whether to similarly adjust Michigan’s scheduling regulations. The bill requires the department to publish the reasons for its decision if it chooses not to follow the federal changes.
