What’s in it
This bill prohibits the advertising of prescription drugs, either by broadcast by a television or radio station in this state, over the internet from a location in this state, or in a magazine or newspaper printed, distributed, or sold in this state. A violation of the bill is a serious misdemeanor. A serious misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least $430 but not more than $2,560.
