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), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) to the contrary, is guilty of a Class X felony and shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment as provided in this subsection (a) and fined as provided in subsection (b):
