Consumer Protection Act; exempt certain pharmaceutical distributors from.

HB 1547 would exempt certain pharmaceutical distributors from Mississippi's Consumer Protection Act when they act under orders from the U.S. Department of Justice or in response to suspicious orders as defined by federal law (21 U.S.C. § 802(7)). This specifically affects distributors complying with federal requirements for suspicious order monitoring, not all pharmaceutical distributors. The bill would remove the applicability of the state Consumer Protection Act for these limited scenarios, aligning Mississippi's law with federal protocols. The bill died in conference in March 2025 and did not become law.
