Adds nitazene to schedule I of controlled substances
S 9187 adds nitazene to Schedule I of New York's controlled substances list under Public Health Law. This makes nitazene illegal without a license, directly affecting anyone who possesses, distributes, or uses it. The bill creates a new entry (paragraph 37-a) in Schedule I to prohibit nitazene, aligning it with substances like heroin and LSD that have no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
