Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Medical Practice Act of 1987. Provides it is unlawful for any person to knowingly manufacture or deliver, or possess with intent to manufacture or deliver a legend drug of 6 or more pills, tablets, capsules, caplets, or 30 ml or more of a liquid medication who is not licensed under this Act or another Act of the State to practice, prescribe, or dispense legend drugs in all of its branches. Provides certain criminal penalties, fines, and forfeiture provisions for violations of the Section. Defines "legend drug" as a drug limited by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to being dispensed by or upon a medical practitioner's prescription because the drug is (1) habit-forming; (2) toxic or having potential for harm; or (3) limited in use by the new drug application for the drug to use only under a medical practitioner's supervision. Defines "medical practitioner" as any person licensed to practice medicine in all its branches in the State. Amends the Drug Asset Forfeiture Procedure Act. Provides that the provisions of the Act are applicable to all property forfeitable under the Medical Practice Act of 1987. Effective immediately.
