6certain controlled substances and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits the manufacture, distribution, delivery, or possession of
substances included in the schedule of controlled substances. Current law
categorizes substances into five schedules, depending on the nature of the substance.
Schedule I substances are those that have a high potential for abuse, have no
currently accepted medical use, and are not accepted as safe for use in treatment
under medical supervision.
This bill identifies several nonnarcotic, hallucinogenic substances that are
commonly known as "synthetic cannabinoids" and classifies those substances as
Schedule I controlled substances. The bill also identifies two stimulant substances
and classifies those as Schedule I controlled substances.
Under the bill, a person who possesses a synthetic cannabinoid may, for a first
offense, be fined up to $1,000, imprisoned for up to six months, or both. For a second
or subsequent offense, the person is guilty of a Class I felony and may be fined up to

$10,000, imprisoned for up to three years and six months, or both. A person who
manufactures, distributes, or delivers a synthetic cannabinoid, or who possesses a
synthetic cannabinoid with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or deliver it, is
guilty of a Class H felony and subject to a fine up to $10,000, imprisonment for up
to six years, or both. The bill also enables a town, city, village, or county to pass an
ordinance that provides a forfeiture for a first violation of possession of a synthetic
cannabinoid.
Under the bill, a person who possesses either of the stimulant substances may,
for a first offense, be fined up to $5,000, imprisoned for up to one year, or both. For
a second or subsequent offense, the person is guilty of a Class I felony and may be
fined up to $10,000, imprisoned for up to three years and six months, or both. A
person who manufactures, distributes, or delivers either of the stimulant
substances, or who possesses either of the stimulant substances with the intent to
manufacture, distribute, or deliver it, is guilty of a felony, the classification of which
depends on the amount of the controlled substance involved in the offense.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
