HB 1956

Abstract

Amends the Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act. Defines "methamphetamine precursor electronic log system" as a system by which pharmacies or retail distributors maintain in an electronic format or by electronic means required information relating to the purchase, receipt, and acquisition of targeted methamphetamine precursors. Provides that any regulation of targeted methamphetamine precursors and targeted packages by a home rule unit that establishes rules for a methamphetamine precursor electronic log system is exempt from the home rule preemption provisions of the Act. Provides that the General Assembly authorizes the creation of pilot programs by home rule units to establish methamphetamine precursor electronic log systems. Provides that the home rule units shall develop the methods by which the methamphetamine precursor electronic log systems are maintained. Provides that these pilot programs shall allow the State to assess the effectiveness of methamphetamine precursor electronic log systems as a means of preventing illegal purchase of methamphetamine precursor products.
