  1 26                           EXPLANATION
  1 27 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
  1 28 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.
  1 29    This bill relates to the medical use of cannabidiol,
  1 30 including the rescheduling of a cannabidiol investigational
  1 31 product approved as a prescription drug medication under
  1 32 federal law.
  1 33    The bill provides if a cannabidiol investigational product
  1 34 approved as a prescription drug medication by the United States
  1 35 food and drug administration is designated as a schedule II
  2  1 controlled substance by the federal drug enforcement agency,
  2  2 the board of pharmacy shall, upon notice of the designation,
  2  3 similarly designate the prescription drug medication as
  2  4 a schedule II controlled substance.  Such designation by
  2  5 the board shall be immediately effective upon the date
  2  6 of publication in the federal register of the final order
  2  7 designating the prescription drug medication as a schedule II
  2  8 controlled substance.
  2  9    The bill provides that the board shall adopt rules pursuant

  2 15 1.
  2 16    The bill strikes the repeal of Code chapter 124D (medical
  2 17 cannabidiol Act) before the repeal becomes effective July 1,
  2 18 2017.
