The bill amends Section 481.037 of the Health and Safety Code to designate certain substances as Schedule IV controlled substances under the Texas Controlled Substances Act. Specifically, it adds carisoprodol, mifepristone, and misoprostol to the list of Schedule IV substances, while removing the previous designation of carisoprodol alone. This change aims to regulate these substances more strictly due to their potential for abuse and health risks.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the changes in law will only apply to offenses committed on or after the effective date of January 1, 2026. Offenses that occurred before this date will be governed by the law in effect at the time of the offense, ensuring that individuals are not retroactively penalized under the new regulations.
