SECTION 1. Section 481.002(22), Health and Safety Code, is
amended to read as follows:
(22) "Immediate precursor" means a substance the
director [commissioner] finds to be and by rule designates as
being:

produced primarily for use in the manufacture of a controlled
substance;
(B) a substance that is an immediate chemical
intermediary used or likely to be used in the manufacture of a
controlled substance; and

to prevent, curtail, or limit the manufacture of a controlled
substance.
SECTION 2. Section 481.034(d), Health and Safety Code, is
amended to read as follows:
(d) In making a determination regarding a substance, the
commissioner shall consider:
(1) the actual or relative potential for its abuse;
(2) the scientific evidence of its pharmacological
effect, if known;
(3) the state of current scientific knowledge
regarding the substance;
(4) the history and current pattern of its abuse;
(5) the scope, duration, and significance of its
abuse;
(6) the risk to the public health;
(7) the potential of the substance to produce
psychological or physiological dependence liability; and

analogue, chemical precursor, or an immediate precursor of a
substance [already] controlled under this chapter.
