MODERATE

The bill was amended to add a Cal. No. 1135 identifier and include committee reporting history. The substantive policy change adds 'per occurrence' to clarify that the 50-gram xylazine restriction applies to each separate sale event. The penalty enforcement section was renumbered from section 5 to section 6, and the effective date was changed from 'immediately' to 'ninetieth day after it shall have become a law' to allow time for implementation.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on prohibiting xylazine sales of 50 grams or more, but the 'per occurrence' clarification ensures each sale event is counted separately for enforcement purposes.

REQUIREMENT

Added 'per occurrence' to clarify that the 50-gram xylazine restriction applies to each individual sale event rather than cumulative totals.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from immediate to 90 days after becoming law to allow time for businesses to prepare compliance measures.

TECHNICAL

Added Cal. No. 1135 identifier and updated committee reporting status to reflect favorable committee review and amendments.

Reordered sections with penalty enforcement moved to section 6 and record-keeping requirements moved to section 5.
