TO AMEND THE DEFINITION OF "DRUG" WITHIN THE FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

Senate Bill 255 amends the definition of "drug" within the state's Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The bill clarifies that "meat" is specifically excluded from the types of food that can be considered a drug under the act. It also removes a general reference to "or other animals" from the definition. This change primarily affects the regulatory framework for substances classified as drugs, particularly concerning food products and potentially impacting the food and drug industry.
