Abstract
(SB0716 · 103rd Legislature) Controlled substances: schedules; scheduling of certain controlled substances; modify. Amends sec. 7204 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.7204). Sponsor: Sen. Paul Wojno (D) Latest vote: House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call #303 — 102-6 (passed, 2026-07-03) Latest action (2026-07-29): Assigned Pa 0048’26 With Immediate Effect
Why this matters
Scheduling decisions under MCL 333.7204 determine which substances are subject to Michigan’s controlled-substance restrictions, affecting prescribers, pharmacies, law enforcement, and patients who may gain or lose lawful access. Because SB0716 was enacted with immediate effect as PA 0048’26, the schedule changes are already operative and flow into related regulatory regimes (prescribing, dispensing, and criminal possession).
