Summary of HB 4947: Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine Manufacturer Logging System

Overview

This bill would amend the Michigan Public Health Code to require manufacturers of products containing the drugs ephedrine or pseudoephedrine to participate in a national electronic logging system. The purpose is to help track and limit the sale of these drugs, which can be used to illegally produce methamphetamine.

Key Provisions

  • Mandatory National Logging System Participation: Manufacturers of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine would be required to participate in an electronic sales tracking system operated by the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI).
  • Real-Time Reporting: Manufacturers would have to submit records of each sale of these products in real-time to the NADDI system.
  • Penalties for Non-Compliance: Failure to participate in the logging system could result in civil fines of up to $1,000 per violation.

Affected Parties

  • Manufacturers: This bill would place new compliance requirements on companies that produce medications, supplements, or other products containing the precursor chemicals ephedrine or pseudoephedrine.
  • Law Enforcement: Access to the national logging system data is intended to aid law enforcement efforts to combat methamphetamine production and trafficking.
  • Consumers: While consumers would not be directly affected, restricting access to ephedrine and pseudoephedrine could impact the availability and pricing of some over-the-counter medications.

Timeline and Procedure

  • The bill was introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives on March 13, 2025 and has been referred to a second reading.
  • If enacted, the new manufacturer logging system requirements would take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law.
