        AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to providing for  the

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 3307 of the public health law,  as
     2  added by chapter 164 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows:
     3    5. The commissioner [may] shall by regulation or emergency regulation,
     4  reclassify any compound, mixture or preparation containing any substance
     5  listed in Schedule I of section three thousand three hundred six of this
     6  title  as  a Schedule II, III, IV or V substance, or exempt it from this
     7  article, if that same compound, mixture or preparation  is  redesignated
     8  or  rescheduled other than under Schedule I under the federal Controlled
     9  Substances Act, or deleted as a controlled substance under  the  federal
    10  Controlled  Substances Act. If the commissioner acts under this subdivi-
    11  sion and does not exempt the compound, mixture or preparation from  this
    12  article, he or she may only reclassify it to a newly created subdivision
    13  in  the  same  numbered  schedule  or a higher numbered schedule than to
    14  which it is redesignated or rescheduled under the federal act.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
