Public Act 099-0585
 
SB0210 EnrolledLRB099 03370 RLC 23378 b

    AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Bath
Salts Prohibition Act.
 
    Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds the
following:
    (1) Synthetic cathinones, currently a Schedule I
controlled substance under State and federal law, are often
labeled, marketed, and sold as various products: most notably,
"bath salts", but also "plant food", "jewelry cleaner", "phone
screen cleaner", and "carpet deodorizer".
    (2) Unlike traditional cosmetic bath salts, which are made
to be added to bath water, toxic bath salt products have no
legitimate use for bathing and are produced specifically for
recreational drug abusers as substitutes for cocaine, ecstasy
(MDMA), and amphetamines.
    (3) Bath salt products are commonly sold online as well as
at drug paraphernalia stores commonly known as "head" shops,
tobacco shops, convenience stores, adult book stores, gas
stations, and truck stops.
    (4) The abuse of synthetic stimulant drugs known as "bath
salts" has become a major public health threat across the
United States.
    (5) Case reports and clinical studies have shown that the
use of synthetic cathinones can cause severe psychiatric
symptoms and possibly death.
    (6) Forty-four states have passed laws prohibiting
synthetic cathinones.
 
    Section 10. Purpose. The purpose of this Act is to ban the
sale of all synthetic cathinones sold under the disguise of
legitimate products such as "bath salts" and other various
labels in this State in order to protect the health and public
safety of residents of this State.
 
    Section 15. Definitions. As used in this Act:
    "Bath salts" means any synthetic or natural material
containing any quantity of a cathinone chemical structure,
including any analogs, salts, isomers, or salts of isomers of
any synthetic or natural material containing a cathinone
chemical structure. This includes, but is not limited to,
synthetic cathinones as defined in subsection (h) of Section
204 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, and any related
"controlled substance analog" as defined in Section 402 of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, regardless of how the
product is labeled or marketed.
    "Person" means any natural person, individual,
corporation, unincorporated association, proprietorship, firm,
partnership, joint venture, joint stock association, or any
other business organization or entity.
    "Retail mercantile establishment" has the meaning ascribed
to it in Section 16-0.1 of the Criminal Code of 2012.
 
    Section 20. Prohibition. A person may not sell or offer
for sale any bath salts in a retail mercantile establishment
located within this State.
 
    Section 25. Penalties. Any person who violates this Act is
guilty of a Class 3 felony for which a fine of not more than
$150,000 may be imposed. In addition to any other penalty that
may be imposed for a violation of this Act, the unit of local
government that issued a retailer's license for the retail
mercantile establishment whose merchant violated this Act may
revoke the retailer's license of that retail mercantile
establishment upon conviction for a violation of this Act.
 
    Section 105. The Illinois Controlled Substances Act is
amended by changing Section 401 as follows:
 
    (720 ILCS 570/401)  (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1401)
    Sec. 401. Manufacture or delivery, or possession with
intent to manufacture or deliver, a controlled substance, a
counterfeit substance, or controlled substance analog. Except
as authorized by this Act, it is unlawful for any person
knowingly to manufacture or deliver, or possess with intent to
manufacture or deliver, a controlled substance other than
methamphetamine and other than bath salts as defined in the
Bath Salts Prohibition Act sold or offered for sale in a retail
mercantile establishment as defined in Section 16-0.1 of the
Criminal Code of 2012, a counterfeit substance, or a controlled
substance analog. A violation of this Act with respect to each
of the controlled substances listed herein constitutes a single
and separate violation of this Act. For purposes of this
Section, "controlled substance analog" or "analog" means a
substance, other than a controlled substance, that has a
chemical structure substantially similar to that of a
controlled substance in Schedule I or II, or that was
specifically designed to produce an effect substantially
similar to that of a controlled substance in Schedule I or II.
Examples of chemical classes in which controlled substance
analogs are found include, but are not limited to, the
following: phenethylamines, N-substituted piperidines,
morphinans, ecgonines, quinazolinones, substituted indoles,
and arylcycloalkylamines. For purposes of this Act, a
controlled substance analog shall be treated in the same manner
as the controlled substance to which it is substantially
similar.
    (a) Any person who violates this Section with respect to
the following amounts of controlled or counterfeit substances
or controlled substance analogs, notwithstanding any of the
provisions of subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) to the
contrary, is guilty of a Class X felony and shall be sentenced
to a term of imprisonment as provided in this subsection (a)
