AN  ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to products bear-
  ing illegal drug names

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative intent. The legislature finds that there is a
new breed of beverages containing large doses of caffeine, sugar, and  a
mixture of herbs and other substances, that are fast becoming the young-
er  generation's  pick-me-up of choice. These so-called energy or sports
drinks are considered dietary supplements and are not subject  to  regu-
lation  by  the  federal  food  and drug administration. The legislature
further finds that there is a new sports drink  on  the  market,  called
"Cocaine",  which,  by its name, glamorizes an illegal and deadly stimu-
lant that has ravaged families and entire neighborhoods.  The  president
and  chairman  of  the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse,
Joseph A. Califano Jr., described this new drink  as  "insidious,  disg-
raceful,  irresponsible,  reprehensible, and disgusting." Therefore, the
legislature finds that the sale of products  bearing  such  inflammatory
names should be prohibited.
  S 2. The general business law is amended by adding a new section 398-e
to read as follows:
  S  398-E.  SALE OF PRODUCTS BEARING ILLEGAL DRUG NAMES. 1. IT SHALL BE
UNLAWFUL TO  SELL  ANY  PRODUCT  BEARING  THE  NAME  OF  ANY  CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCE,  AS DEFINED IN SECTION THIRTY-THREE HUNDRED SIX OF THE PUBLIC

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD02773-01-9
