An Act protecting children from harmful diet pills and muscle-building supplements

This bill prohibits the sale of over-the-counter diet pills and muscle-building supplements to anyone under 18 years old. It requires retail stores to keep these products locked away (behind counters or in locked cases) and check identification for customers who appear under 18. For online sellers, it mandates age verification using government databases, requires an adult signature for delivery, and prohibits shipping to minors. Violations can result in civil penalties up to $1,000.
