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
