House Amendment No. 1
Changes the penalty for the offense. Provides that the possession of a drug product containing dextromethorphan without a prescription is a Class 4 felony. Provides that the sale, delivery, distribution, or possession with intent to sell, deliver, or distribute a drug product containing dextromethorphan without a prescription is a Class 2 felony.

House Amendment No. 3
Provides that the provision requiring dextromethorphan to be distributed only by prescription does not apply to sale of a drug product containing dextromethorphan that is sold in certain forms as an over-the-counter drug product (rather than an over-the-counter cough and cold medicine). Includes in the exemption from prescription sales, dextromethorphan that is sold in solid form as an over-the-counter drug product. Defines over-the-counter drug product.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
