House Bill 1212 establishes the Montana Brown and Jesse High Act and amends the Health and Safety Code to establish the authority of the commissioner of state health services to designate a consumer commodity that poses a threat to public health as an abusable synthetic substance and to emergency schedule a substance as a controlled substance to avoid an imminent hazard to public safety. The bill classifies certain controlled substance analogues in Penalty Group 2-A of the Texas Controlled Substances Act and eliminates an affirmative defense to prosecution for the manufacture, delivery, or possession of a controlled substance analogue relating to the analogue's intended use.
