This bill amends Section 50-32-232 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to revise the list of specific dangerous drugs included in Schedule V of controlled substances. A significant change in the bill is the addition of gabapentin, also known as 1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid, to the list of depressants. This inclusion is part of a broader effort to regulate substances that have potential for abuse and to ensure public safety.

Additionally, the bill removes the mention of pregabalin from the list of depressants, while retaining other substances such as lacosamide. The overall aim of the legislation is to update the classification of certain drugs to reflect current understanding and concerns regarding their use and potential for misuse.
