An Act Relating to the Sale of Hypodermic Apparatuses

Sec. 1. 22 MRSA §2383-B, sub-§6,  as amended by PL 2003, c. 386, §19, is further amended to read:

SUMMARY

Current law permits an agricultural supply store to sell hypodermic apparatuses and a livestock owner to possess hypodermic apparatuses for administering antibiotics, vitamins and vaccines to treat medical conditions or promote the health of that person's livestock.

This bill clarifies that an agricultural supply store may furnish or sell, without limit in number, hypodermic apparatuses to a livestock owner and that the sale by the agricultural supply store and the possession by the person who owns livestock expressly fall within the exceptions to the laws restricting possession and furnishing of hypodermic apparatuses.
