These following documents are in draft form and have not been approved by the department to begin the formal rulemaking process to establish a new rule or amend an existing rule.

The amendment (emergency and proposed amendment) updates the Schedules of Controlled Substances to be consistent with 21 CFR Part 1308. The amendment updates the rule to reflect changes made to the federal controlled substance schedule since the rule was last updated in September of 2024. This is an existing regulation but needs to be updated to reflect DEA Scheduling Actions. Section 195.015, RSMo charges the department with similarly scheduling controlled substances as they are controlled under federal law. Section 195.015.4 requires the Department of Health and Senior Services to submit emergency rules to the Secretary of State within thirty days of a federal scheduling action to allow for similar inclusion, rescheduling, or deletion of controlled substances with this schedule. |
