Already a "State of Confusion," where you can buy six-packs of beer in a bar but not in a store, 13 Pennsylvania lawmakers have proposed amendments to a 23-year-old drug and controlled substances act to include regulating dietary supplement sales by requiring all such supplements be sold only behind the counter and not to anyone under the age of 18. HB995 has been referred to the judiciary committee of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, where it must be approved for the House floor; it then must be approved by the House and Senate, before reaching the governor for signature into law.
The National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) has initiated efforts to oppose this bill, including a point-by-point criticism of the bill and plans to rally the state's natural products industry members, depending on how the bill proceeds.
