HB 2281 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64), known as The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, further providing for prohibited acts and penalties.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to change the penalty for a specific violation of the law. Currently, the violation is classified as a misdemeanor with potential jail time or a fine, but this legislation would reduce it to a summary offense punishable by up to 30 days in jail or a fine of $500. The change directly affects individuals who commit the prohibited act outlined in clause (31) of the act's subsection (a). The bill is set to take effect 60 days after it is passed.
