The bill amends section 893.1495 of the Florida Statutes, which governs the retail sale of ephedrine and related compounds. It introduces new definitions for "administrator of the electronic recordkeeping system" and "covered entity," clarifying the roles and responsibilities of entities involved in the sale and distribution of these substances. The bill also revises the applicability of the law, specifying that while licensed manufacturers are generally exempt from certain requirements, those classified as covered entities must adhere to additional regulations.

Furthermore, the bill establishes criminal penalties for violations of specific subsections related to the sale of ephedrine and its compounds. It changes the language from "Any individual" to "A person" in the context of violations, broadening the scope of accountability. Penalties are tiered based on the number of offenses, with increasing severity from misdemeanors to felonies. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
