INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Hill
FEBRUARY 27, 2009
An act to amend Sections 11055 and 11058
Section 11055 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to
controlled substances.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1414, as amended, Hill. Controlled Substances.
substances: apomorphine: unscheduled.
Existing law, the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act,
classifies controlled substances into 5 designated schedules, 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.
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 relating to
the transaction on a monthly basis, as specified.
This bill would remove apomorphine from Schedule II of the
California Uniform Controlled Substances Act and place
it in Schedule V make it an unscheduled substance
. 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
no . State-mandated local program: yes
no .
