SB 405 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64), known as The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, further providing for definitions.

SB 405 amends Pennsylvania's Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act by updating the legal definition of "drug" to explicitly include substances intended as components of other drugs. It adds a new subsection (v) clarifying that "drug" covers substances used in the production of other specified drugs, while also defining "vaccine or vaccine material" as FDA-authorized substances for disease immunity. This is a technical definitional update to the existing law, not a new policy or regulation, and does not directly affect specific individuals or industries. The bill refines how the law classifies certain substances under current drug regulations.
