Transmission of Sales Information to Real-time Electronic Logging System
(a)
Before completing an over-the-counter sale of a product containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norpseudoephedrine, a business establishment that engages in those sales shall transmit the information in the record made under Section 486.014 (Prerequisites to and Restrictions on Sale)(a)(2) to a real-time electronic logging system.(b)
Except as provided by Subsection (c), a business establishment may not complete an over-the-counter sale of a product containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norpseudoephedrine if the real-time electronic logging system returns a report that the completion of the sale would result in the person obtaining an amount of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, or a combination of those substances greater than the amount described by Section 486.014 (Prerequisites to and Restrictions on Sale)(b), regardless of whether all or some of the products previously obtained by the buyer were sold at the establishment or another business establishment.(c)
An employee of a business establishment may complete a sale prohibited by Subsection (b) by using the override mechanism described by Section 486.001 (Definitions)(a)(6)(F) only if the employee has a reasonable fear of imminent bodily injury or death from the person attempting to obtain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norpseudoephedrine.(d)
On request of the Department of Public Safety, the administrators of a real-time electronic logging system shall make available to the department a copy of each record of an over-the-counter sale of a product containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norpseudoephedrine that is submitted by a business establishment located in this state.
