electronic logbook systems, and for other purposes, and ask for its

  There was no objection.

       Section 310(e)(1)(A) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 
     U.S.C. 830(e)(1)(A)) is amended by striking clauses (iv) 
     through (vi) and inserting the following:
       ``(iv) In the case of a sale to which the requirement of 
     clause (iii) applies, the seller does not sell such a product 
     unless the sale is made in accordance with the following:

       ``(I) The prospective purchaser--

       ``(aa) presents an identification card that provides a 
     photograph and is issued by a State or the Federal 
     Government, or a document that, with respect to 
     identification, is considered acceptable for purposes of 
     sections 274a.2(b)(1)(v)(A) and 274a.2(b)(1)(v)(B) of title 
     8, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on or after

     purchaser provides a signature using one of the following 
     means:
       ``(AA) Signing a device presented by the seller that 
     captures signatures in an electronic format. Such device 
     shall display the notice described in clause (v). Any device 
     used shall preserve each signature in a manner that clearly 
     links that signature to the other electronically-captured 
     logbook information relating to the prospective purchaser 
     providing that signature.
       ``(BB) Signing a bound paper book. Such bound paper book 
     shall include, for such purchaser, either (aaa) a printed 
     sticker affixed to the bound paper book at the time of sale 
     which either displays the name of each product sold, the 
     quantity sold, the name and address of the purchaser, and the 
     date and time of the sale, or a unique identifier which can 
     be linked to that electronic information, or (bbb) a unique 
     identifier which can be linked to that information and which 
     is written into the book by the seller at the time of sale. 
     The purchaser shall sign adjacent to the printed sticker or 
     written unique identifier related to that sale. Such bound 
     paper book shall display the notice described in clause (v).
       ``(CC) Signing a printed document that includes, for such 
     purchaser, the name of each product sold, the quantity sold, 
     the name and address of the purchaser, and the date and time 
     of the sale. Such document shall be printed by the seller at 
     the time of the sale. Such document shall contain a clearly 
     identified signature line for a purchaser to sign. Such 
     printed document shall display the notice described in clause 
     (v). Each signed document shall be inserted into a binder or 
     other secure means of document storage immediately after the 
     purchaser signs the document.

       ``(II) The seller enters in the logbook the name of the 
     product and the quantity sold. Such information may be 
     captured through electronic means, including through 
     electronic data capture through bar code reader or similar 
     technology.
       ``(III) The logbook maintained by the seller includes the 
     prospective purchaser's name, address, and the date and time 
     of the sale, as follows:

       ``(aa) If the purchaser enters the information, the seller 
     must determine that the name entered in the logbook 
     corresponds to the name provided on such identification and 
     that the date and time entered are correct.
       ``(bb) If the seller enters the information, the 
     prospective purchaser must verify that the information is 
     correct.
       ``(cc) Such information may be captured through electronic 
     means, including through electronic data capture through bar 
     code reader or similar technology.
       ``(v) The written or electronic logbook includes, in 
     accordance with criteria of the Attorney General, a notice to 
     purchasers that entering false statements or 
     misrepresentations in the logbook, or supplying false 
     information or identification that results in the entry of 
     false statements or misrepresentations, may subject the 
     purchasers to criminal penalties under section 1001 of title 
     18, United States Code, which notice specifies the maximum 
     fine and term of imprisonment under such section.
       ``(vi) Regardless of whether the logbook entry is written 
     or electronic, the seller maintains each entry in the logbook 
     for not fewer than 2 years after the date on which the entry 
     is made.''.

  The Senate bill was ordered to be read a third time, was read the 
third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider was laid on the 
table.
