H 497 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding controlled substances.

This bill (H 497) amends Idaho's controlled substances laws to update the list of Schedule I substances and clarify regulatory requirements. It specifically adds numerous fentanyl analogs (like acetyl fentanyl and beta-methyl fentanyl) to Schedule I and defines "fentanyl-related substances" based on chemical structural modifications. The changes affect medical practitioners, pharmacies, and law enforcement by revising registration rules, prescription database requirements, and disciplinary procedures for handling these substances. The bill makes technical corrections to multiple sections of Idaho Code without introducing new penalties or broad policy shifts.
