Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

COVID drugs lose automatic state scheduling

Starting July 1, 2026, drugs scheduled federally to prevent or treat COVID-19 are no longer automatically placed on Mississippi’s matching controlled-drug schedule. The repeal removes only that automatic state-scheduling rule; Mississippi can still schedule a drug under other state rules.

New penalties for scheduled psilocybin handlers

Starting July 1, 2026, an FDA-approved crystalline psilocybin product is automatically placed on Mississippi’s matching controlled-drug schedule when the federal government schedules it. The state listing starts on the federal scheduling date. It ends when a state schedule change takes effect or after the next regular legislative session and its governor-veto period, whichever comes first. The matching state fines and penalties apply to people and entities handling the product.
