SB 35 updates South Dakota's list of controlled substances by clarifying and expanding which opioid derivatives and fentanyl-related drugs are classified as Schedule I illegal drugs. The bill specifically adds language to cover fentanyl analogs—synthetic variations of fentanyl created by minor chemical modifications—unless they're approved pharmaceutical products or listed in another drug schedule, addressing the growing problem of designer opioids.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
