Authorizes practitioners in institutional dispensers to dispense controlled substances as emergency treatment and authorizes practitioners to dispense controlled substances for use in detoxification treatment

Added authority for practitioners to dispense controlled substances for maintenance or detoxification treatment to addicts or habitual users, expanding beyond the previous limitation to institutional dispensers in emergency situations.

Established eligibility criteria for patients who may receive controlled substances for addiction treatment, including those aged, infirm, or suffering from serious injury or illness where withdrawal would endanger life or impede recovery.

Added new provisions allowing practitioners to prescribe, administer, and dispense Schedule III, IV, or V narcotic drugs approved by the FDA specifically for use in maintenance or detoxification treatment.

Updated bill metadata including sponsor names, committee status, and document tracking numbers to reflect the amended version.
