Provides that if the Department of Human Services' report to the Governor, Attorney General, and General Assembly confirms the Department of Human Services has identified new chemical formulas that are used to make synthetic drugs, the Department Human Services shall as soon as practicable propose an emergency rule to add any new chemical formulas to the current list of chemical formulas that are listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act as Schedule I controlled substances, and adopt the proposed rule as quickly as allowed for under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
