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

SB 716 shortens Michigan's review period for aligning state controlled substance schedules with federal changes. It requires the state administrator to decide within 30 days (down from 91 days) whether to adopt federal scheduling changes for substances, rather than automatically following federal action. If the state chooses not to adopt a federal schedule, it must publish its reasons within 30 days of that decision. This directly affects the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (the "administrator") and impacts how quickly Michigan regulates substances like drugs or chemicals under state law. The bill does not change which substances are controlled but streamlines the process for updating Michigan's schedules.
