The proposed bill aims to prohibit the sale, transfer, or furnishing of over-the-counter diet pills to individuals under the age of eighteen. It introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code, specifically defining "over-the-counter diet pills" and outlining the responsibilities of retail establishments. According to the bill, these establishments must not sell such products to minors and are required to request valid identification from anyone who appears to be under eighteen when attempting to make a purchase.

Additionally, the bill empowers the Department of Health to create rules for the implementation of this section, including identifying which diet pills fall under these regulations. Violations of this law will be classified as deceptive and unconscionable trade practices, subjecting offenders to penalties under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, as well as a potential fine of up to $2,000 for retail establishments that fail to comply.
