An act relating to adding xylazine to the list of regulated drugs

This bill would add xylazine, a veterinary sedative, to Vermont's list of regulated drugs. It directly affects individuals who possess, dispense, or sell the substance by making it illegal to do so outside of approved veterinary use. The key provision prohibits the non-veterinary handling of xylazine, treating it similarly to other controlled substances under state law. This change aims to increase oversight of the drug's availability and use within the state.
