H.R. 1186 · 114th Congress
Synthetic Abuse and Labeling of Toxic Substances Act of 2015
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Synthetic Abuse and Labeling of Toxic Substances Act of 2015 or the SALTS Act
Amends the Controlled Substances Act to authorize the following factors to be considered in determining whether a controlled substance analogue was intended for human consumption:
- the marketing, advertising, and labeling of the substance;
- the known efficacy or usefulness of the substance for the marketed, advertised, or labeled purpose;
- the difference between the price at which the substance is sold and the price at which the substance it is purported to be or advertised as is normally sold;
- the diversion of the substance from legitimate channels and the clandestine importation, manufacture, or distribution of the substance;
- whether the defendant knew or should have known that the substance was intended to be consumed by injection, inhalation, ingestion, or any other immediate means; and
- whether the substance is manufactured, formulated, sold, distributed, or marketed with the intent to avoid the provisions of existing drug laws.
Declares that evidence that a substance was not marketed, advertised, or labeled for human consumption shall not by itself be sufficient to establish that the substance was not intended for human consumption.
