BILL NUMBER: AB 1414 AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY JANUARY 4, 2010 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 30, 2009 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 2, 2009 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Hill FEBRUARY 27, 2009 An act to amendSection 11055Sections 11055 and 11058 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to controlled substances. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1414, as amended, Hill. Controlled Substances. Existing law, the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act, classifies controlled substances intofire5 designated schedulesand includes apomorphine, with the most restrictive limitations generally placed on controlled substances classified in Schedule I, and the least restrictive limitations generally placed on controlled substances classified in Schedule V . Existing law places apomorphine within Schedule II.Under existing law, unlawful possession of apomorphine is a felony.Existing law also provides for the electronic monitoring and reporting of the prescribing and dispensing of Schedule II, Schedule III, and Schedule IV controlled substances pursuant to the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES) program and requires every practitioner, other than a pharmacist, who prescribes or administers a Schedule II, Schedule III, or Schedule IV controlled substance to make a record of the transaction and provide the Department of Justice with information rel ating to the transaction on a monthly basis, as specified. This bill would remove apomorphine from Schedule II, as described aboveand place it in Schedule V . By revising the penal provisions applicable to apomorphine, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program:noyes . THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
