AI Summary
This bill prohibits any person doing business in the state from knowingly manufacturing, selling, distributing, dispensing, supplying, or compounding any drug, medical device, or other good, service, or technology if they know or should reasonably know that the request for these items was prompted, directly or indirectly, by someone intending to use them to carry out a death sentence. This means businesses cannot provide items if they suspect they will be used in an execution. Violators of this prohibition will face a civil penalty of $10,000, and any applicant, licensee, or certificate holder under the Health Occupations Article who violates this section will have their license or certificate denied or revoked by the relevant board. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
