House Bill 1518 amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit a business establishment from dispensing, distributing, or selling dextromethorphan to a customer under 18 years of age and to establish certain prerequisites for over‑the‑counter transactions involving dextromethorphan. The bill prohibits local regulation of the sale, distribution, or possession of dextromethorphan and requires a county or district attorney to issue a warning to a business establishment for a first violation of the bill's provisions and makes the establishment liable to the state for a civil penalty for subsequent violations.
