(2) Clarify that the exception from certain requirements of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act for any over-the-counter sale, transfer, furnishing, or receipt of a drug containing pseudoephedrine or norpseudoephedrine is subject to compliance with the additional restrictions on the sale of over-the-counter pseudoephedrine products imposed by Act 193, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005;
(3) Reduce the amount of pseudoephedrine products that a pharmacy or retailer may dispense, sell, or distribute without a prescription, to 3.6 grams per day without regard to the number of transactions, and no more than nine grams within 30 days;

Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
