The bill amends section 3715.99 and enacts new sections 3715.811, 3715.812, and 3715.813 of the Revised Code to prohibit the sale of over-the-counter diet pills and dietary supplements for weight loss or muscle building to individuals under the age of eighteen. It defines key terms such as "delivery sale," "dietary supplement for weight loss or muscle building," "identification card," "over-the-counter diet pill," and "retailer." The bill mandates that retailers must require identification from purchasers and implement verification processes for delivery sales to ensure compliance with the age restriction.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations, specifically stating that individuals who unlawfully sell these products to minors can face fines of up to one thousand dollars. The existing section 3715.99 is repealed, and the new provisions aim to enhance consumer protection and promote the health and safety of minors by restricting access to potentially harmful dietary products.
