HB 4935 Summary

• Amends Michigan's Public Health Code Section 7212 to add etizolam to Schedule 1 controlled substances, classifying it as a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use.

• Etizolam is a benzodiazepine-like drug (4-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine) with street names including Etilaam, Etizest, Depas, Etizola, Sedekopan, and Pasaden.

• Makes minor grammatical corrections throughout Section 7212, replacing "which" with "that," "II-V" with "2-5," and "federal food and drug administration" with "United States Food and Drug Administration."

• Maintains existing provision that marijuana remains a Schedule 2 controlled substance only when manufactured, obtained, stored, or possessed in compliance with the act and federal law.

• Takes effect 90 days after enactment.
