House Bill No. by Representative Mack enacts new provisions to the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law in Louisiana, specifically adding certain substances to Schedule I. The bill introduces two new opiates: N-Desethyl isotonitazene (N-ethyl-2-[(4-isopropoxyphenyl)methyl]-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole-1-ethanamine) and Etonitazepipne (2-[(4-ethoxyphenyl)methyl]-5-nitro-1-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl]-1H-benzimidazole) under the opiates category. Additionally, it adds Ethylphenidate to the stimulants category, which is defined as any material, compound, mixture, or preparation that has a stimulant effect on the central nervous system.

The bill also authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to renumber these new entries to ensure they are organized in alphabetical order within the existing schedules. This legislative action aims to address the growing concerns regarding the regulation of these substances and their potential impact on public health and safety.
