House Bill No. by Representative Mack seeks to amend the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law by adding new substances to Schedule I. The bill enacts R.S. 40:964(Schedule I)(A)(108) through (120), which includes a list of specific opiates that are now classified as controlled substances. These additions include various chemical compounds such as N-Pyrrolidino metonitazene, Beta-Methylacetyl fentanyl, and Methylenedioxynitazene, among others, which are recognized for their potential for abuse and associated health risks.

The proposed law retains the existing framework of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law while expanding the list of substances under Schedule I. This legislative action aims to enhance public safety by regulating these newly identified opiates, which have emerged as significant concerns in the context of substance abuse and addiction. The Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with organizing and renumbering these new entries in the law accordingly.
