Classify tianeptine as a controlled substance
LB 475 would add tianeptine to Nebraska's Schedule I controlled substances list under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. This classification would make tianeptine illegal without a prescription, directly affecting individuals who use it without medical authorization. The bill amends existing law to include tianeptine specifically in Schedule I, which prohibits substances with no accepted medical use and high abuse potential. This change would require prescriptions for any medical use and criminalize unauthorized possession or distribution. The bill is currently pending in the Judiciary Committee.
