The bill amends section 7204 of the Public Health Code to update the process by which controlled substances are scheduled in Michigan in response to federal designations. It specifies that if a substance is designated, rescheduled, or deleted as a controlled substance under federal law, the state administrator must schedule the substance similarly under state law unless a board meeting is held within not more than 60 days after notice is received. This replaces the previous requirement of holding a meeting within 91 days.

Additionally, if the administrator decides not to schedule the substance similarly, they are required to publish the reasons for that decision within not more than 60 days after the determination is made. The bill aims to streamline the scheduling process and ensure timely responses to changes in federal controlled substance designations.
