TX SB2997

Requires the Texas commissioner to delete or reschedule a Schedule I controlled substance within 21 days when the FDA approves it and federal law subsequently removes it from controlled status or moves it to a lower schedule

Creates an expedited process specifically for FDA-approved substances, bypassing the standard 30-day review period and the commissioner's ability to object that applies to other federal scheduling changes

Exempts these FDA-triggered rescheduling actions from the requirement to hold a public hearing in Austin before altering controlled substance schedules

Applies only to controlled substances deleted or rescheduled under federal law on or after September 1, 2025
