Bill overview
Senate Bill 1188 modifies Arizona law to align the scheduling of medications with federal regulations. Specifically, any drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and scheduled by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will automatically be classified under the same schedule in Arizona. This simplifies the process for Arizona pharmacists and ensures consistency with federal drug control policies. The bill clarifies that FDA-approved, scheduled drugs are considered controlled substances in Arizona and can be prescribed.
