| ||||
Public Act 099-0585 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Bath | ||||
Salts Prohibition Act. | ||||
Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds the | ||||
following: | ||||
(1) Synthetic cathinones, currently a Schedule I | ||||
controlled substance under State and federal law, are often | ||||
labeled, marketed, and sold as various products: most notably, | ||||
"bath salts", but also "plant food", "jewelry cleaner", "phone | ||||
screen cleaner", and "carpet deodorizer". | ||||
(2) Unlike traditional cosmetic bath salts, which are made | ||||
to be added to bath water, toxic bath salt products have no | ||||
legitimate use for bathing and are produced specifically for | ||||
recreational drug abusers as substitutes for cocaine, ecstasy | ||||
(MDMA), and amphetamines. | ||||
(3) Bath salt products are commonly sold online as well as | ||||
at drug paraphernalia stores commonly known as "head" shops, | ||||
tobacco shops, convenience stores, adult book stores, gas | ||||
stations, and truck stops. | ||||
(4) The abuse of synthetic stimulant drugs known as "bath | ||||
salts" has become a major public health threat across the |
United States.
| ||
(5) Case reports and clinical studies have shown that the | ||
use of synthetic cathinones can cause severe psychiatric | ||
symptoms and possibly death.
| ||
(6) Forty-four states have passed laws prohibiting | ||
synthetic cathinones.
| ||
Section 10. Purpose. The purpose of this Act is to ban the | ||
sale of all synthetic cathinones sold under the disguise of | ||
legitimate products such as "bath salts" and other various | ||
labels in this State in order to protect the health and public | ||
safety of residents of this State. | ||
Section 15. Definitions. As used in this Act: | ||
"Bath salts" means any synthetic or natural material | ||
containing any quantity of a cathinone chemical structure, | ||
including any analogs, salts, isomers, or salts of isomers of | ||
any synthetic or natural material containing a cathinone | ||
chemical structure. This includes, but is not limited to, | ||
synthetic cathinones as defined in subsection (h) of Section | ||
204 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, and any related | ||
"controlled substance analog" as defined in Section 402 of the | ||
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, regardless of how the | ||
product is labeled or marketed. | ||
"Person" means any natural person, individual, | ||
corporation, unincorporated association, proprietorship, firm, |
partnership, joint venture, joint stock association, or any | ||
other business organization or entity.
| ||
"Retail mercantile establishment" has the meaning ascribed | ||
to it in Section 16-0.1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||
Section 20. Prohibition. A person may not sell or offer | ||
for sale any bath salts in a retail mercantile establishment | ||
located within this State. | ||
Section 25. Penalties. Any person who violates this Act is | ||
guilty of a Class 3 felony for which a fine of not more than | ||
$150,000 may be imposed.
In addition to any other penalty that | ||
may be imposed for a violation of this Act, the unit of local | ||
government that issued a retailer's license for the retail | ||
mercantile establishment whose merchant violated this Act may | ||
revoke the retailer's license of that retail mercantile | ||
establishment upon conviction for a violation of this Act. | ||
Section 105. The Illinois Controlled Substances Act is | ||
amended by changing Section 401 as follows:
| ||
(720 ILCS 570/401) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1401)
| ||
Sec. 401. Manufacture or delivery, or possession with | ||
intent to
manufacture or deliver, a controlled substance, a | ||
counterfeit substance, or controlled substance analog. Except | ||
as authorized by this Act, it is unlawful for any
person |
knowingly to manufacture or deliver, or possess with intent to
| ||
manufacture or deliver, a controlled substance other than | ||
methamphetamine and other than bath salts as defined in the | ||
Bath Salts Prohibition Act sold or offered for sale in a retail | ||
mercantile establishment as defined in Section 16-0.1 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 2012 , a counterfeit substance, or a controlled
| ||
substance analog. A violation of this Act with respect to each | ||
of the controlled
substances listed herein constitutes a single | ||
and separate violation of this
Act. For purposes of this | ||
Section, "controlled substance analog" or "analog"
means a | ||
substance, other than a controlled substance, that has a | ||
chemical structure substantially similar to that of a | ||
controlled
substance in Schedule I or II, or that was | ||
specifically designed to produce
an effect substantially | ||
similar to that of a controlled substance in Schedule
I or II. | ||
Examples of chemical classes in which controlled substance | ||
analogs
are found include, but are not limited to, the | ||
following: phenethylamines,
N-substituted piperidines, | ||
morphinans, ecgonines, quinazolinones, substituted
indoles, | ||
and arylcycloalkylamines. For purposes of this Act, a | ||
controlled
substance analog shall be treated in the same manner | ||
as the controlled
substance to which it is substantially | ||
similar.
| ||
(a) Any person who violates this Section with respect to | ||
the following
amounts of controlled or counterfeit substances | ||
or controlled substance
analogs, notwithstanding any of the |
provisions of subsections (c),
