Summary

Existing law makes it a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years to, with intent to manufacture methamphetamine or any of its analogs, as specified, or by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months, 2 years, or 3 years to, with the intent to sell, transfer, or otherwise furnish those chemicals, substances, or products to another person with the knowledge that they will be used to manufacture methamphetamine or any of its analogs, as specified, possess ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, or any salts, isomers, or salts of isomers of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. This bill would make it a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years to possess, without regard to intent, 12pound or more of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, or any salts, isomers, or salts of isomers of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, or 12pound or more of a substance containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, or any salts, isomers, or salts of isomers of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. Because this bill would create new crimes, this bill would impose a state‑mandated local program upon local governments. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
