MI SB1479

Retailers prohibited from selling more than 3.6 grams of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine (or their salts/isomers) per person within a 30-day period, or more than 9 grams total product weight containing these substances within 30 days.

Retailers must require government-issued photo identification and record purchaser name, address, date of birth, product name/quantity, date/time of sale, and ID type/number in a logbook for all ephedrine/pseudoephedrine sales.

Beginning January 1, 2011, retailers must electronically submit required sale information to the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx) before completing sales; retailers using this system are immune from civil liability except for negligence, recklessness, wantonness, or deliberate misconduct.

NPLEx system must generate a "stop sale" alert when a purchase would violate quantity limits; retailers cannot complete sales with active alerts unless using an override function (only available if dispenser fears imminent bodily harm), with all overrides logged by the system.

Violations are misdemeanors punishable by fines up to $500; exemption provided for purchases made with valid prescriptions.
