SB 1306: Controlled substances: gamma-butyrolactone.
The bill would exempt certain chemical mixtures containing gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) from specific requirements related to controlled substances. It would allow the sale, transfer, or other furnishing of these mixtures to persons or entities in California or other states without obtaining a permit from the Department of Justice. The exemption would apply to mixtures that contain GBL and were obtained or received from a source within or outside the state or were obtained, received, sold, transferred, or exported to any state. This exemption would not apply to requirements related to the sale of chemical reagents or solvents with a value over $100, unless the presence of GBL is solely due to the mixture.
