Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation:
On April 14, 2016, the Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration published its final rule in the Federal Register placing AH-7921 into Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act.
Plain language analysis:
The Controlled Substances Board did not receive an objection to treating AH-7921 as a schedule I controlled substance under ch. 961, Stats. based upon the federal scheduling. The Controlled Substances Board took affirmative action on November 15, 2016 to similarly treat AH-7921 under chapter 961 effective November 21, 2016 to allow for publication in the Administrative Register. The Affirmative Action Order will expire upon promulgation of a final rule. This rule creates s. 961.14 (2) (aj), Stats. which adds AH-7921 to schedule I. Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
Illinois: Illinois has not scheduled AH-7921.
Iowa: Iowa is in the process of scheduling AH-7921 as a schedule I controlled substance.
Michigan: Michigan has not scheduled AH-7921.
Minnesota: Minnesota has not scheduled AH-7921.
Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:
The methodology was to schedule AH-7921 to conform with the federal Controlled Substances Act.
Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis:
This rule schedules a drug and does not have an effect on small business.
Fiscal Estimate and Economic Impact Analysis:
The Fiscal Estimate and Economic Impact Analysis is attached.
Effect on small business:
