FIVE-YEAR STOP-SALE ALERT H.B. 4864 (S-1):
SUMMARY OF BILL
REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE
House Bill 4864 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Representative John Kivela
House Committee: Criminal Justice
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Methamphetamine Abuse Reporting Act to establish a five-year stop-sale alert for a person convicted of attempting to solicit another to purchase ephedrine or pseudoephedrine to manufacture methamphetamine.
Under the Act, if a court notifies the Michigan Department of State Police (MSP) that a person has been convicted of a methamphetamine-related offense, the MSP must notify the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI). The information provided to NADDI must be for the purpose of generating a stop-sale alert through the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx) for people who have been convicted of methamphetamine-related offenses. The stop-sale alert applies for 10 years after a person's conviction.
Under the bill, an NPLEx stop-sale alert would apply for five years after a person was convicted of attempting to solicit another person to purchase or obtain ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, knowing that it would be used to illegally manufacture methamphetamine. (The attempted solicitation offense is proposed by Senate Bill 409 and House Bill 4767, and would be punishable by up to one year's imprisonment and/or a maximum fine of $1,000.)
The bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.
