Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 974 removed two specific substances, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, from the list of controlled substances. This change is significant because it could impact how these substances are regulated and accessed, potentially leading to changes in their availability within Mississippi. By omitting these substances, the bill reflects a shift in legislative priorities regarding certain drugs.
