Drugs, Over the Counter - As enacted, increases the amount of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine a person may purchase in a one-year period from 43.2 grams to 61.2 grams; changes references to the "National Precursor Log Exchange" to the "electronic sales tracking system"; requires any manufacturer of an ephedrine or pseudoephedrine product that is sold in or into this state to, on a monthly basis, pay fees to the administrator of the electronic sales tracking system. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 4.
SB 2323 increases the annual purchase limit for over-the-counter products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine from 43.2 grams to 61.2 grams in Tennessee. It requires pharmacies to use an electronic sales tracking system (replacing the former "NPLEx" system) to log purchases of these products starting January 1, 2012, and mandates that manufacturers of such products pay monthly fees to the system administrator beginning January 1, 2027. The bill also updates rules for pharmacy counseling, data correction procedures, and law enforcement access to the tracking system data. This directly affects consumers buying these medications, pharmacies selling them, and manufacturers producing them.
