Prescription Drugs- Automatic Scheduling Changes
December 18, 2012 11:34 AM to All Senate Members
Circulated By
Senator John Rafferty
R Senate District 44
Memo
In the near future, I will be re-introducing legislation (SB536) specifically targeting the growing problem of prescription drug diversion.
This legislation implements automatic scheduling changes for controlled substances in Pennsylvania in coordination with a proposed federal scheduling change. Automatic scheduling would occur sixty days after such change occurs on the federal level. This legislation would eliminate the very lengthy regulatory process that occurs at the state level once a drug is deemed as an abuse threat by the federal government.
