Summary

The bill adds a new rule to New York's business law that bans the sale of the sedative medetomidine unless the buyer shows it will be used for an institutional, veterinary, or scientific purpose and is at least 21 years old. It requires sellers to keep records and imposes fines for violations. The goal is to keep the drug out of the hands of unauthorized users.
