SB 17-030

Senate Bill 17-030 is a Colorado law that allows certain anabolic steroids to be used legally for cattle and other non-human animals if they are approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services specifically for animal use through injection or implantation. This means farmers can use these substances on their livestock without breaking drug control laws, as long as the products are intended only for animals and not humans. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now active and being implemented in Colorado.

Official Summary

For the purposes of the schedules of controlled substances, the bill exempts from the definition of 'anabolic steroid' human chorionic gonadotropin licensed for animal use only if it is expressly intended for administration through implants or injection into cattle or other nonhuman species and has been approved by the secretary of health and human services for such administration. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
