ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT EXCEEDING:
(1) $50 FOR THE FIRST VIOLATION; AND
(2) $250 FOR EACH SUBSEQUENT VIOLATION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 323, as it related to the prohibition of and
penalty for sale of a remedy for venereal disease.
In subsection (a)(2) and (3) of this section, the phrase "government unit[s]"
is substituted for the former references to "governmental agency" and
"governmental agencies" for consistency within this article. See General
Revisor's Note to article.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the former reference to a "health
department" is deleted as included in the reference to a "government unit".
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to a "firm, company
or corporation" is deleted in light of the defined term "person".
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the first former reference to a
"sulfonamide drug" is deleted in light of the comprehensive reference to a
"drug".
Subsection (c)(2) of this section clarifies that the person who fills the
prescription, who in most cases is not the physician who wrote the
prescription, shall write on the prescription the date it was filled, shall
keep the prescription on file for 2 years, and shall keep the prescription
open for inspection.
