Thank you California Assemblymember Weber for championing this bill to protect young people from dangerous weight loss dietary supplements and over-the-counter diet pills.
Introduced by California Assemblymember Akilah Weber in the 2023-2024 session, Dietary supplements for weight loss and over-the-counter diet pills (AB-82) was voted favorably out of the Assembly in January 2024 and is now with the California Senate. We expect the bill to be heard around June 2024. In the meantime, we are focusing on planning meetings with California Senate members and reaching out to California-based organizations for their support.
