This bill creates a new chapter in Title 69 RCW that prohibits selling, offering to sell, or giving away over-the-counter diet pills and dietary supplements labeled, marketed, or represented for weight loss or muscle building to anyone under 18 in Washington. It defines key terms (including delivery sale, delivery seller, over-the-counter diet pills, and dietary supplements for weight loss or muscle building) and makes retail establishments and delivery sellers (including online retailers) subject to the new requirements. The bill imposes procedural requirements on retailers to require proof of legal age (with specified acceptable government-issued photo IDs) and permits transaction scans with strict limits on which fields may be recorded (name, date of birth, identification number, expiration date). Retailers must deny a sale when scan data does not match printed ID or indicates fraud. It prohibits reselling or disseminating transaction scan data for third-party marketing, allows release only by court-ordered subpoena or statute, and requires delivery sellers to use signature-required shipping and to verify the signer is at least 18 with photo ID. The Office of the Attorney General is authorized to investigate and enforce; courts may impose civil penalties up to $500 per violation generally and up to $1,000 per violation for unlawfully reselling or disseminating transaction scan information. Courts must consider specified factors when deciding whether a product is characterized for weight loss or muscle building. Legally, this is a new regulatory statute establishing prohibitions, procedural requirements for sellers and delivery sellers, limits on personal data use, and civil penalties and enforcement authority. The extracted text does not provide an effective date, the new chapter number in Title 69, the text of the RCW referenced for the definition of “dietary supplement,” or any broader administrative rulemaking or enforcement procedures beyond the Attorney General’s authority.

If enacted, stores, pharmacies, and online sellers will in practice need to block people under 18 from obtaining over‑the‑counter diet pills and supplements marketed for weight loss or muscle building by requiring specific government photo IDs at purchase, using ID scans that must match the printed ID, and by shipping only with adult‑signature methods that verify age at delivery. That will likely raise compliance work and costs for retailers and delivery services (training, checking and denying sales, changing shipping options) and increase their legal risk because the Attorney General can investigate and courts can levy fines (up to $500 per violation and up to $1,000 per improper sale or prohibited resale of scanned ID data). The businesses most affected are retail establishments (including pharmacies and grocery stores) and delivery sellers, including online retailers; they will have fewer options for selling these products to younger customers and tighter limits on what they can do with scanned ID data. Important implementation details are missing from the excerpt—there’s no effective date, no chapter number for the new law, and the full statutory definition of “dietary supplement” is only referenced elsewhere—so the timing and precise scope of compliance obligations remain unclear.
