AI Summary

  • Changes Arizona's "Uniform Controlled Substances Act" chapter heading to "Controlled Substances Act" and amends references throughout the statute.

  • Delegates authority to the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy to adopt rules establishing controlled substance schedules I-V rather than having schedules statutorily listed, with rules to reflect federal designations in 21 Code of Federal Regulations.

  • Adds language clarifying that controlled substance definitions include substances "adopted by rule pursuant to" the controlled substances chapters, making rule-adopted substances enforceable.

  • Updates multiple licensing statutes (physicians, naturopathic doctors, homeopathic doctors, pharmacists) to reference controlled substances "or the rules adopted pursuant to" relevant statutes instead of only listing specific schedule sections.

  • Makes conforming technical amendments to definitions and references across healthcare licensing boards to align with the shift from statutory to rule-based controlled substance scheduling.
