The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend the current definition of "narcotic drug" in Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3401 by adding several new substances to the list. Specifically, it would insert the following drugs: butonitazene, etodesnitazene, etonitazepyne, flunitazene, isotonitazene, metodesnitazene, metonitazene, and protonitazene. These additions aim to expand the legal framework surrounding narcotic drugs to include these newly recognized substances.

In addition to the insertions, the bill would also make several deletions to the existing statute, removing certain drugs from the current list, such as cannabis, carfentanil, and various other substances. The bill would also make conforming changes to ensure consistency within the statute. Overall, the updates reflect an effort to keep the legal definitions in line with emerging drug trends and substances.
