MI SB0789

Administrator may add, delete, or reschedule controlled substances in compliance with the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969.

Administrator must consider eight factors when determining substance control status, including potential for abuse, pharmacological effects, scientific knowledge, abuse patterns, public health risk, and dependence liability.

Administrator may use emergency rulemaking under section 48 of the Administrative Procedures Act to schedule substances designated as imminent dangers by the Department of Community Health director.

Emergency rules may be extended by filing a certificate of extension with the Secretary of State before expiration.

When a substance is designated, rescheduled, or deleted under federal law, Michigan must similarly control it unless the administrator holds a board meeting within 91 days and publishes reasons for non-compliance.
