(1) The Legislature has determined that, from time to
time, additional testings, approvals, or scientific evidence may indicate that
controlled substances listed in Schedules I, II, III, IV, and V hereof have a
greater potential for beneficial medical use in treatment in the United States
than was evident when such substances were initially scheduled. It
is the intent of the Legislature to quickly provide a method for an immediate
change to the scheduling and control of such substances to allow for the
beneficial medical use thereof so that more flexibility will be
available than is possible through rescheduling legislatively.
(2) The Attorney General is hereby delegated the
authority to adopt rules rescheduling specified substances to a less
controlled schedule, or deleting specified substances from a schedule, upon a
finding that reduced control of such substances is in the public interest. In
determining whether reduced control of a substance is in the public interest,
the Attorney General shall consider the following:
(a) Whether the substance has been rescheduled or
deleted from any schedule by rule adopted by the United States Attorney
General pursuant to s. 201 of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and
Control Act of 1970, 21 U.S.C. s. 811.
(b) The substance's actual or relative potential for
abuse.
(c) Scientific evidence of the substance's
pharmacological effect, if known.
(d) The state of current scientific knowledge
regarding the substance.
(e) The substance's history and current pattern of
abuse.
(f) The scope, duration, and significance of abuse.
(g) What, if any, risk there is to the public health.
(h) The substance's psychic or physiological
dependence liability.
(3) In making the public interest determination, the
Attorney General shall give great weight to the scheduling rules adopted by
the United States Attorney General subsequent to such substances being listed
in Schedules I, II, III, IV, and V hereof, to achieve the original legislative
purpose of the Florida
Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of maintaining uniformity
between the laws of Florida
and the laws of the United States with respect to controlled substances.
(4) Rulemaking under this section shall be in
accordance with the procedural requirements of chapter 120, including the
emergency rule provisions found in s. 120.54. The Attorney General may
initiate proceedings for adoption, amendment, or repeal of any rule on his or
her own motion or upon the petition of any interested party.
(5) Upon the effective date of a rule adopted pursuant
to this section, the rule's rescheduling or deletion of a substance shall be
effective for all purposes under this chapter.
(6) Rules adopted pursuant to this section shall be
reviewed each year by the Legislature. Each rule shall remain in effect until
the effective date of legislation that provides for a different scheduling of
a substance than that set forth in such rule.
(7) The adoption of a rule rescheduling a substance or
deleting a substance from control pursuant to this section shall not affect
prosecution or punishment for any crime previously committed with respect to
that substance.
(8) The provisions of this section apply only to
substances controlled expressly by statute and not to substances controlled by
rules adopted under the authority granted in the provisions of s. 893.035.
History.--s. 4, ch. 85-242; s. 1435, ch. 97-102.
