HB 273 DE Became Law
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SYNTHETIC CANNABINOIDS.
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This Act updates the synthetic cannabinoids listed on Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act by using broader language so that new synthetic cannabinoids created after the enactment of this Act fall within this definition without needing to be specifically listed. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 28 of Article IV of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to give jurisdiction to inferior courts and possession of a controlled substance is a misdemeanor under § 4763 of Title 16.
