AI Summary
- Expands the definition of "retail distributor" under the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act to include online retailers selling products containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine
- Applies existing sales restrictions to online retailers, including the prohibition on selling more than 3 packages or 9 grams of these substances in a single transaction
- Recognizes online sales fulfilled by delivery, in-person pickup, or curbside pickup as equivalent to direct in-store sales for regulatory purposes
- Violation of these requirements by online retailers constitutes a crime, with first offenses being misdemeanors and subsequent convictions punishable by up to one year in jail and fines up to $10,000
- No state reimbursement to local agencies is required because the bill only expands the scope of existing criminal provisions
