STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 218A.020

218A.020(1) authorizes the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to promulgate
administrative regulations to add, delete, or reschedule substance enumerated
in KRS Chapter 218A. KRS 218A.020(3) authorizes the Cabinet for Health and
Family Services to promulgate administrative regulations to control substances
controlled under federal law. This administrative regulation designates
Schedule IV controlled substances. This administrative regulation differs from
the federal regulation because it designates the following substances as a
Schedule IV controlled substance: Tramadol, Carisoprodol, and Nalbuphine. The
Cabinet for Health and Family Services recognizes that Tramadol, Carisoprodol,
and Nalbuphine have significant abuse potential and inclusion on Kentucky's
Schedule IV list will help reduce the risk to public health.
