Bill > SB106

This bill establishes penalties for the sale, gifting, or distribution of tianeptine products, which are defined as any product marketed for human consumption containing tianeptine sodium or tianeptine sulfate. Specifically, retail establishments that knowingly sell, give, or distribute these products without a prescription will face a civil penalty of $2,500 for a first offense and $5,000 for any subsequent offense within a three-year period, with the penalty being assessed against the establishment regardless of whether an employee committed the violation. The bill also allows for attorneys for the Commonwealth to bring actions to recover these civil penalties, which will be deposited into the state treasury, and permits law enforcement officers to issue summonses for violations.
