The bill amends section 893.1495 of the Florida Statutes, which governs the retail sale of ephedrine and related compounds. It introduces new definitions, including "administrator of the electronic recordkeeping system," which refers to the entity responsible for the electronic recordkeeping system approved by the Department of Law Enforcement, and "covered entity," which pertains to manufacturers of ephedrine or related compounds sold within or into Florida. The bill clarifies that licensed manufacturers are exempt from certain regulations unless they qualify as covered entities, in which case they must adhere to specific requirements.

Additionally, the bill establishes criminal penalties for violations of the amended sections, specifying that any person who violates certain subsections or paragraphs will face varying degrees of misdemeanor or felony charges based on the number of offenses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the adoption of related legislation (SB 642 or similar) during the same legislative session.
