Urging the State Committee of Public Health to review and consider adding the novel synthetic opioid N-Propionitrile Chlorphine as a Schedule I controlled substance

This bill asks the Alabama State Committee of Public Health to review and potentially classify a new synthetic opioid called N-Propionitrile Chlorphine as a Schedule I controlled substance. The legislation cites concerns that this drug is approximately 10 times more potent than fentanyl and poses a high risk of accidental overdose due to its extreme potency and presence in counterfeit pills. If the committee acts on this request, the substance would be added to Alabama's list of controlled substances under existing state law. The bill directs the State Health Officer and committee members to process this review immediately.
