BILL NUMBER:S7102
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public health law, in relation to including
substances designated pursuant to the federal Analog Act within the
definition of controlled substances
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill will give state drug and law enforcement agencies and individ-
uals the another tool to combat the quickly moving world of designer
drugs. The Federal Analog Act (21 use § 813) allows scheduling and
enforcement against drugs which are substantially structurally similar
to those in schedule I or II. This bill will incorporate substances
scheduled under this act into New York State Public Health Law.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends Public Health Law Section 3306 to incorporate the
Federal Analog Act into New York State's Drug Scheduling provisions.
JUSTIFICATION:
Currently under New York State Law, only a narrow selection of scheduled
substances have analog protection. That is, manufacturers often only
need to chemically "tweak" a drug to avoid scheduling. This creates a
game of cat and mouse, with legislation and enforcement far slower to
act than the manufacturers of designer drugs.
