Bill > SB2323

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, modifies regulations surrounding the sale of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, which are often used as precursors in the illegal manufacturing of methamphetamine. Key changes include increasing the annual purchase limit of these products for individuals from 43.2 grams to 61.2 grams. It also replaces references to the "National Precursor Log Exchange" (NPLEx), an existing system for tracking such sales, with the more general term "electronic sales tracking system," and designates an "administrator of the electronic sales tracking system" to manage this system. Furthermore, manufacturers of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine products sold in Tennessee will be required to pay monthly fees to the administrator of this electronic system, with annual fee adjustments capped at a 10% increase unless justified by cost factors. The bill also clarifies that the electronic sales tracking system will be used to prevent sales to individuals on a methamphetamine registry and outlines procedures for handling data entry errors and ensuring pharmacies are equipped to use the system.
