Controlled substances: schedules; scheduling of certain controlled substances; modify. Amends sec. 7204 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.7204).

HB 5162 requires Michigan to automatically adopt federal changes to controlled substance schedules (such as adding, removing, or reclassifying substances) unless the state administrator holds a review meeting within 30 days. If the state decides not to follow the federal change, it must publish its reasoning within 30 days. This bill directly affects Michigan's drug enforcement and public health policies by streamlining alignment with federal law, reducing delays in updating state schedules. It applies to all controlled substances subject to federal scheduling changes, impacting state law enforcement, healthcare providers, and substance regulation. The bill does not alter specific schedules but establishes a process for future federal updates.
