SB 743 Violations of the Drug Control Act.

Introduced by: Jane H. Woods | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Violations of the Drug Control Act. Conforms the references in the criminal code to terms used or defined in the Drug Control Act (§ 54.1-3400 et seq.). In the present law, only certain terms used in Title 18.2 are said to be synonymous with the uses and definitions in the Drug Control Act, e.g., marijuana. Recently, interpretations by the courts of terms such as "dispense" and "prescribe" have been inconsistent with the law as set forth in the Drug Control Act. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Commonwealth's Current Laws and Policies Related to Chronic, Acute, and Cancer Pain Management.
