Bill Summary
Amending the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64), entitled "An act relating to the manufacture, sale and possession of controlled substances, other drugs, devices and cosmetics; conferring powers on the courts and the secretary and Department of Health, and a newly created Pennsylvania Drug, Device and Cosmetic Board; establishing schedules of controlled substances; providing penalties; requiring registration of persons engaged in the drug trade and for the revocation or suspension of certain licenses and registrations; and repealing an act," further providing for prohibited acts and penalties.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to change the classification of a violation of Section 13(a)(31) from a misdemeanor to a summary offense. This means that individuals convicted of this violation would be subject to a fine of up to $500, rather than potential imprisonment. The bill provides that this change will take effect 60 days after it is enacted.
