    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation:
    On January 23, 2015, the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration published its final rule in the Federal Register removing naloxegol from schedule II of the federal Controlled Substances Act. The scheduling action was effective January 23, 2015.
    Plain language analysis:
    The Controlled Substances Board did not receive an objection to excluding naloxegol as a schedule II under ch. 961 , Stats. based upon the federal scheduling. The Controlled Substances Board took affirmative action on March 25, 2015 to similarly exclude naloxegol under chapter 961 effective April 1, 2015 to allow for publication in the Administrative Register. The Affirmative Action Order will expire upon promulgation of a final rule.
    This rule amends 961.16(2 )( a)(intro), Stats. which excludes naloxegol from schedule II.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
    Illinois : Illinois does not exclude naloxegol from scheduling.
    Iowa : Iowa does not exclude naloxegol from scheduling.
    Michigan : Michigan does not exclude naloxegol from scheduling. Minnesota: Minnesota has a bill to exclude naloxegol from scheduling. Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:
    The methodology was to remove naloxegol from scheduling to conform with the federal Controlled Substances Act.
