HB 417 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Uniform Controlled Substances Act; include five substances in Schedule I.

HB 417 adds 58 specific synthetic opioids to Mississippi's Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, classifying them as having no legitimate medical use and a high potential for harm. The bill directly affects anyone possessing, distributing, or using these listed substances, including fentanyl analogs like acetyl-alpha-methylfentanyl, beta-hydroxyfentanyl, and others. Key provisions include listing exact chemical names (e.g., "4-fluoroisobutyryl fentanyl" and "2'-fluoro ortho-fluorofentanyl") and defining structural modifications that would automatically classify related compounds under Schedule I. This expands Mississippi's legal restrictions to include these newly designated substances, aligning with federal analog laws but applying specifically to state enforcement.
