Bill Summary

CONCERNING REGULATION ON THE SALE OF SODIUM NITRITE.

AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the sale and transfer of products containing sodium nitrite. The key provisions are: 1. It defines "covered products" as those containing more than 10% sodium nitrite by mass or volume, and "covered entities" as those selling or transferring such products. 2. It prohibits covered entities from selling or transferring covered products, except to verified commercial businesses that require them for business purposes. 3. It mandates specific label requirements for covered products, including prominent warnings about the deadly consequences of ingestion. 4. It requires covered entities to maintain sales and transfer records for three years. 5. It establishes civil penalties of up to $1 million for violations, and allows the Attorney General or aggrieved individuals to bring civil actions. The bill is intended to address concerns about the increasing use of sodium nitrite for suicide attempts, and aims to reduce access to this lethal substance while still allowing its use for legitimate commercial and industrial purposes.
