This bill adds 46 synthetic opioids and related substances—including phenibut, tianeptine, and various methadone derivatives—to South Dakota's Schedule I list of controlled substances, making them illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess without authorization. These drugs are currently unregulated in the state but are being added to match federal classification and prevent their use as legal alternatives to banned opioids. The bill makes possession or distribution of these substances a crime under South Dakota law.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
