Designate certain substances as controlled substances under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act
LB 877 amends Nebraska's Uniform Controlled Substances Act to add specific substances to the list of controlled drugs and correct spelling errors in the existing schedule. This change will subject these substances to the same legal restrictions as other controlled drugs under state law, affecting law enforcement, healthcare providers, and individuals who possess or distribute them. The bill updates the law's definitions and schedules to include these new substances. The exact list of substances designated is not provided in the bill text excerpt.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to correct a reference to the wrong statute section in the bill text, changing it from section 28-401 to section 28-405 for the amendment authority. The marijuana definition section was also modified to remove a reference to cannabidiol in FDA-approved products and to clarify that marijuana does not include hemp. These are primarily technical corrections to ensure the bill references the correct statutory sections and maintains consistent definitions.
