SUMMARY (verbatim): "The proposed emergency rule adds 7-hydroxymitragynine (\"7-OH\“), mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, 7-acetoxymitragynine, 8-hydroxymitragynine (\”8-OH\"), 10-hydroxymitragynine (\"10-OH\") dihydro-7-hydroxymitragynine (\"MGM-15\“) and 9-fluoro-7-hydroxymitragynine (\”MGM-16\") at a level above (a) 1 milligram per gram (mg/g) for solid or powdered products, including encapsulated materials; or (b) 1 milligram per milliliter (mg/mL) for liquid products, including beverages, extracts, and tinctures; and 7-Hydroxymitragynine, Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, 7-acetoxymitragynine, 8-Hydroxymitragynine, 10-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM-15, and MGM-16 (or any combination thereof) with less than 100 parts mitragynine for every one part of 7-OH (including Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, 7-acetoxymitragynine, 8-Hydroxymitragynine, 10-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM-15, and MGM-16) by mass to Schedule I, subsection 893.03(l)(a), F.S."

FINDINGS (verbatim): "In written findings published on the date this emergency rule was filed with the Secretary of State’s Office, Attorney General James Uthmeier has found that there is a need to schedule the above-mentioned substance in Schedule I, subsection 893.03(1)(a), F.S., on a temporary basis in order to curtail its abuse by Florida's children, young adults, and others. These circumstances present an imminent hazard to the public safety... The Legislature authorized the agency to adopt emergency rules to temporarily schedule substances in Schedule I, of section 893.03, F.S., pursuant to section 893.035(7), F.S."
