1998 SESSION
HB 1299 Drug Control Act.
Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Drug Control Act. Amends the inventory provision and Schedules II and IV of the Drug Control Act to conform to recent changes in federal law. This bill clarifies that, upon starting up a business involving the manufacturing, compounding, processing, selling, dispensing or disposing of controlled substances (including the operation of a pharmacy), a person with no controlled substances on hand for the initial inventory must record this fact. After the initial inventory is taken, every person operating one of the regulated businesses must take another inventory at least every two years on any date which is within two years of the previous inventory. This bill also adds Remifentanil to the list of opiates on Schedule II and moves Pentazocine from the list of depressants on Schedule IV to a new, less specific category of Schedule IV and adds Butorphanol to this new category. Virginia's Drug Control Act mirrors federal law by specifically setting out the drug schedules and other federal requirements; therefore, the federal law or regulation amendments relating to the Food and Drug Administration frequently require the Commonwealth's law to be revised.
