Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. Provides that a drug product containing dextromethorphan may not be sold, delivered, distributed, or possessed except in accordance with the prescription requirements of the Act. Provides that a violation is a Class 4 felony.

House Committee 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. Excludes from the prescription requirements, a drug product containing dextromethorphan that is sold in powder or thin film form and sold in dosages and concentrations for use as an over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.

House Floor 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
Provides that persons registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration to manufacture or distribute controlled substances shall maintain adequate security and provide effective controls and procedures to guard against theft and diversion, but shall not otherwise be required to meet the physical security control requirements for Schedule V controlled substances containing pseudoephedrine or Schedule II controlled substances containing dextromethorphan.
