AB445,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Under current law, certain drugs are classified in one of five separate schedules based upon certain factors. Controlled substances that have a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use are included in schedule I. Controlled substances that have an accepted medical use, have the lowest potential for abuse, and produce the least dependence when compared with other controlled substances are included in schedule V. In general, a schedule I controlled substance may not be dispensed, even with a prescription. Current law also provides that a schedule II or III controlled substance may not be dispensed unless the person who is picking up the drug shows his or her identification card. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver’s license, a state identification card, a U.S. uniformed service card, or a U.S. passport. Current law further requires that the name on the identification card of the person to whom the controlled substance is dispensed be recorded in the state’s prescription drug monitoring program.
