The bill amends section 893.1495 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to 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," defined as a manufacturer of ephedrine or related compounds sold within or into the state. The bill clarifies that licensed manufacturers are exempt from certain regulations, except those that qualify as covered entities, which must adhere to specific requirements.

Additionally, the bill revises the penalties for violations of the specified subsections, changing the language from "Any individual" to "A person" and expanding the scope of violations to include paragraph (5)(d). The penalties range from a second-degree misdemeanor for a first offense to a third-degree felony for third or subsequent offenses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the adoption of related legislation in the same session.
