South Dakota adds specific opium-derived drugs and fentanyl analogs to its Schedule I controlled substances list, making them illegal to possess without a prescription. The bill targets dangerous synthetic opioids like desomorphine and various fentanyl derivatives while excluding FDA-approved pharmaceutical products, helping law enforcement crack down on illicit drugs beyond just heroin.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
