substance has: A high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in the United
States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.

(2) The Board of Pharmacy shall place a substance in Schedule II if it finds that the
substance has: A high potential for abuse, currently accepted medical use in the United
States, or currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions, and that abuse may lead
to severe psychological or physical dependence.

(3) The Board of Pharmacy shall place a substance in Schedule III if it finds that the
substance has: A potential for abuse less than the substances listed in Schedules I and II,
currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and that abuse may lead
to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence.

(4) The Board of Pharmacy shall place a substance in Schedule IV if it finds that
the substance has: A low potential for abuse relative to the substances in Schedule III,
currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and that abuse may lead
to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the substances in
Schedule III.

(5) The Board of Pharmacy shall place a substance in Schedule V if it finds that the
substance has: A low potential for abuse relative to the substances listed in Schedule IV,
currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and limited physical

Add, delete, or reschedule substances.

The state Board of Pharmacy may,
by rule, add substances to or delete or reschedule substances listed in this section. The
Board of Pharmacy may not delete or reschedule a drug that is in Schedule I, except as
provided in subdivision 12.

In making a determination regarding a substance, the Board of Pharmacy shall
consider the following: The actual or relative potential for abuse, the scientific evidence
of its pharmacological effect, if known, the state of current scientific knowledge
regarding the substance, the history and current pattern of abuse, the scope, duration,
and significance of abuse, the risk to public health, the potential of the substance to
produce psychic or physiological dependence liability, and whether the substance is an
immediate precursor of a substance already controlled under this section. The state Board
of Pharmacy may include any nonnarcotic drug authorized by federal law for medicinal
use in a schedule only if such drug must, under either federal or state law or rule, be
sold only on prescription.

Subd. 8a.

Methamphetamine precursors.

The State Board of Pharmacy may,
by order, require that nonprescription ephedrine or pseudophedrine products sold in

pseudophedrine products in gel capsule or liquid form can be used to manufacture
methamphetamine. In assessing the need for an order under this subdivision, the board
shall consult at least annually with the advisory council on controlled substances, the

compound, mixture, or preparation contains one or more active medicinal ingredients not
having a stimulant or depressant effect on the central nervous system; provided, that
such admixtures shall be included therein in such combinations, quantity, proportion,

objection and afford all interested parties an opportunity to be heard. At the conclusion of

Sec. 3.

Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 152.18, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Subdivision 1.

Deferring prosecution for certain first time drug offenders.

If
any person who has not previously participated in or completed a diversion program
authorized under section 401.065 or who has not previously been placed on probation
without a judgment of guilty and thereafter been discharged from probation under
this section is found guilty of a violation of section 152.024, subdivision 2, 152.025,
subdivision 2, or 152.027, subdivision 2, 3, or 4, or 6, paragraph (d), for possession of a
controlled substance, after trial or upon a plea of guilty, and the court determines that the
violation does not qualify as a subsequent controlled substance conviction under section
152.01, subdivision 16a, the court may, without entering a judgment of guilty and with the
consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person on probation upon
such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to exceed the maximum
sentence provided for the violation. The court may give the person the opportunity to
attend and participate in an appropriate program of education regarding the nature and
effects of alcohol and drug abuse as a stipulation of probation. Upon violation of a
condition of the probation, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as
otherwise provided. The court may, in its discretion, dismiss the proceedings against the
person and discharge the person from probation before the expiration of the maximum
period prescribed for the person's probation. If during the period of probation the person
does not violate any of the conditions of the probation, then upon expiration of the period
the court shall discharge the person and dismiss the proceedings against that person.
Discharge and dismissal under this subdivision shall be without court adjudication of guilt,
but a not public record of it shall be retained by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
for the purpose of use by the courts in determining the merits of subsequent proceedings
against the person. The not public record may also be opened only upon court order for
purposes of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or sentencing. Upon request by law
enforcement, prosecution, or corrections authorities, the bureau shall notify the requesting
party of the existence of the not public record and the right to seek a court order to open it
pursuant to this section. The court shall forward a record of any discharge and dismissal
under this subdivision to the bureau which shall make and maintain the not public record
of it as provided under this subdivision. The discharge or dismissal shall not be deemed a
conviction for purposes of disqualifications or disabilities imposed by law upon conviction
of a crime or for any other purpose.

For purposes of this subdivision, "not public" has the meaning given in section
13.02, subdivision 8a.

EFFECTIVE DATE.

This section is effective August 1, 2012, and applies to crimes
committed on or after that date.
