A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to direct the commission for mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services to study date rape drug analogues and determine whether those should be included in the schedules of controlled substances. 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  The Commission for Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services shall study controlled substance analogues used as "date rape drugs".  The Commission shall determine whether those substances should be added to the schedules for controlled substances as provided under G.S. 90‑88, except that G.S. 90‑88(e) shall not apply to this study or be a factor in the Commission's determination.
For purposes of this section, the term "analogue" means a substance other than a controlled substance that is intended for human consumption and that either has a chemical structure substantially similar to a controlled substance in Schedules I, II, or III of Chapter 90 of the General Statutes or that produces an effect substantially similar to that of a controlled substance in Schedules I, II, or III as set out in Chapter 90 of the General Statutes.
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
