Bill > SB3046

This bill, titled the Sale of Pharmaceuticals on Social Media Act, establishes new requirements for individuals selling or advertising pharmaceuticals on social media platforms. It mandates that before any individual can sell or advertise a pharmaceutical on social media, they must first complete a verification process. This process includes submitting images of both the front and back of their state-issued identification to the social media platform, including a clear disclaimer in advertisements that states the seller's name, being identified on the social media page where the pharmaceutical is sold or advertised, and displaying a disclaimer on their main social media page indicating they sell or advertise pharmaceuticals on that platform. Importantly, the term "individual" in this context excludes manufacturers or distributors of drugs approved under federal law, biological products licensed under federal law, or over-the-counter drugs marketed according to federal guidelines. The bill also defines "social media" by referencing its definition in another state law concerning alcohol sales.
