HEA 1157 Summary

• Defines "NPLEx" (National Precursor Log Exchange) in Indiana Code for tracking precursor chemicals used in methamphetamine production.

• Requires the division of state court administration to report felony convictions described in IC 35-48-4-14.5(h)(1) entered after June 30, 2012 to NPLEx, including the convicted individual's full name, date of birth, identification number, and conviction date.

• Mandates NPLEx generate a stop sale alert upon receipt of each felony conviction report, preventing individuals from purchasing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine products.

• Requires notification to NPLEx when a reported felony has been set aside, reversed, expunged, or vacated so NPLEx removes the corresponding stop sale alert.

• Modifies regulations on ephedrine and pseudoephedrine sales to pharmacy and NPLEx retailers, adding prohibition on completing sales when NPLEx generates a stop sale alert for individuals convicted of eligible felonies.
