Public Health - Sale of Diet Pills to Minors - Prohibition
HB 884 prohibits the sale of diet pills to individuals under 18 without a prescription or parental accompaniment. It defines "diet pills" broadly to include over-the-counter supplements marketed for weight loss or muscle building (like those containing creatine or green tea extract), excluding basic protein products. Retailers must restrict access behind counters or locked cases, verify age for minors attempting purchases, and online sellers must require signature verification with government ID from someone 18+ at delivery. Violations carry a $750 civil penalty per incident, applying to both physical stores and online sellers.
