Quick answers

Did CA AB 1152 pass?

Yes. CA AB 1152 has been enacted into law as of 2025-10-01. 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.
