An Act relating to the Controlled Substances Advisory Committee.
SB 233 establishes the Controlled Substances Advisory Committee within Alaska's Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. The bill defines the committee's membership, requiring it to include the attorney general, commissioners of family services and public safety, a pharmacy board representative, a peace officer appointed by the governor, and medical professionals (a physician and psychiatrist), plus two additional governor-appointed members. This procedural bill creates a formal structure for advisory input on controlled substances matters but does not change existing laws or directly affect the public. The committee's role will be determined by future state actions, not this bill.
