Bill > H1525

This bill aims to establish an electronic system to ensure that sales of certain products containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) do not exceed the limits set by federal law. The key provisions include: 1. Defining a "real-time stop sale system" that will be used by law enforcement and pharmacies/retailers to prevent the sale of PSE products above the legal limits. 2. Restricting the sale of PSE products to no more than 3.6 grams per day or 9 grams per 30-day period per person. 3. Requiring retailers to keep logs of PSE product sales, including the customer's information, and to submit the information electronically to the real-time stop sale system. 4. Allowing retailers to use an override function in the system in case of a reasonable fear of imminent harm, but requiring them to record each instance. 5. Establishing penalties for violations, with fines up to $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for subsequent offenses. 6. Exempting PSE product sales made pursuant to a valid prescription. 7. Preempting any local laws or ordinances regulating the sale of PSE products.
