Bill > AB2030

This bill prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or giveaway of over-the-counter diet pills or dietary supplements for weight loss or muscle building to individuals under 18 years of age, with exceptions for prescriptions. It defines "dietary supplement for weight loss or muscle building" as a supplement marketed for these purposes, and "over-the-counter diet pill" as a non-prescription drug intended for weight loss. The bill requires retail establishments to check identification for anyone who appears under 18 attempting to purchase these products, and delivery sellers, including online retailers, must verify the age of purchasers through government databases and require an adult signature upon delivery, along with proof of age. Violators face a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation, and the Attorney General or other legal officials can seek injunctions to prevent further violations, with prevailing plaintiffs eligible for attorney's fees and costs. The bill clarifies that these penalties are in addition to any other existing legal remedies.
