Relating to controlled substance schedules and to clean-up errors identified in code sections
SB 858 amends specific sections of West Virginia's controlled substance scheduling laws (§60A-2-204 to §60A-2-212) to correct technical errors and inconsistencies in the lists of substances. It updates the legal descriptions of Schedule I drugs, including specific fentanyl analogs, opium derivatives, and hallucinogens, ensuring accurate references in state law. The bill directly affects law enforcement, courts, and healthcare providers who rely on precise legal definitions for drug classification and enforcement. It does not change drug scheduling criteria or policy but fixes outdated or incorrect code language. The bill is currently in the Judiciary Committee for review after introduction on March 20, 2025.
