Modifies provisions relating to health care
HB 2824 modifies state laws to regulate the sale of over-the-counter drugs containing ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, or pseudoephedrine, which are used to make methamphetamine. The bill establishes specific purchase limits for individuals, such as a maximum of nine grams within thirty days and three and six-tenths grams within twenty-four hours, while also setting a twelve-month cap of forty-three and two-tenths grams. Pharmacies must keep these products behind the counter where the public cannot access them and are required to submit sales data to state officials. Additionally, the law preempts local ordinances that require prescriptions for these drugs and outlines penalties for knowingly selling or buying amounts that exceed the set limits.
