The proposed bill would amend the current definition of "narcotic drug" in Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3401 by adding several new substances, specifically butonitazene, etodesnitazene, etonitazepyne, flunitazene, isotonitazene, metodesnitazene, metonitazene, and protonitazene. These additions would enhance the legal framework surrounding narcotic drugs by explicitly including these substances, which are not currently listed.

In addition to the new insertions, the bill would also make several deletions to the existing statute, specifically removing certain substances from the definition. This includes the removal of cannabis, carfentanil, and various other drugs, which would be replaced by the newly added substances. The bill aims to modernize the legal classification of narcotic drugs to reflect current trends in drug use and trafficking.
