S 4459 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to adding W-18 to the schedule of controlled substances

This bill adds W-18 (a specific synthetic compound) to Schedule I of the public health law, classifying it as a controlled substance. It directly affects anyone possessing, distributing, or manufacturing W-18, as it would now be subject to the same legal restrictions as other Schedule I drugs. The key mechanism is a technical amendment to Schedule I, inserting W-18's chemical name as a new listed substance under the law. This is a procedural change to the controlled substances schedule with no new penalties or enforcement mechanisms.
