BILL NUMBER: S1652
Provides that a controlled substance analogue shall be deemed to be the
controlled substance to which it is substantially similar or mimics
Section 1: Amends Section 3302 of the public health law to add a defi-
nition of "controlled substance analogue" as a substance that has an
effect on the central nervous system that mimics or is similar to or
greater than the effect of a Schedule I or II controlled substance.
Section 2: Adds a new section to the public health law stating that a
controlled substance analogue shall be, for all purposes, deemed to be
the controlled substance to which it is substantially similar or mimics.
Section 3: Amends Section 220.00 of the penal law to clarify that for
offenses involving the possession or sale of a controlled substance
analogue, an individual commits a crime "knowingly" so long as he/she
knows or should have known that the controlled substance analogue has a
substantially similar effect as a controlled substance.
Synthetic drugs that mimic the effects of controlled substances are
increasingly being sold to individuals in New York State. These synthet-
ic drugs often have medical effects that are similar to or greater than
controlled substances, but are not adequately regulated by existing

BILL NUMBER: S1652A
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public health law and the penal
law, in relation to fentanyl analogues
To define fentanyl analogues and make them subject to section 3306 of
the public health law to aid in criminal prosecution of individuals who
sell fentanyl analogues
nition of "fentanyl analogue"
Section 2: Adds a new section to the public health law regarding fenta-
nyl analogues
offenses involving the possession or sale of a fentanyl analogue, an
individual can commit a crime "knowingly" even if he or she does not
have knowledge of the exact chemical structure of the fentanyl analogue.
Synthetic fentanyl-like drugs that mimic the effects of fentanyl but
have different chemical structures are increasingly being sold to indi-
viduals in New York State. These synthetic fentanyl analogues often have
medical effects that are similar to or greater than fentanyl, but are
not adequately regulated by existing state law. This bill addresses
these deficiencies and gives prosecutors stronger ability to prosecute
those who threaten the health and well-being of New Yorkers.
