Quick answers

Did CA AB 1152 pass?

Yes. CA AB 1152 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2025-10-01): Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 183, Statutes of 2025.

What is CA AB 1152 about?

Existing law, the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act, categorizes controlled substances into 5 schedules and places the greatest restrictions on those substances contained in Schedule I. Under existing law, the substances in Schedule I are deemed to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use while substances in Schedules II through V are substances that have an accepted medical use, but have the potential for abuse. Existing law generally restricts the prescription, furnishing, possession, sale, and use of controlled substances, and makes a violation of those laws a crime, except as specified. Existing law categorizes chorionic gonadotropin, including human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) , as a Schedule III controlled substance except when the hCG is possessed by, sold to, purchased by, transferred to, or administrated by, a licensed veterinarian or a licensed veterinarian's designated agent, exclusively for veterinary use. This bill would remove hCG from the list of Schedule III controlled substances under the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act.

Who sponsors CA AB 1152?
