Requires an online pharmacy to: (1) include on its website homepage a statement that it complies with the requirements of this Act; (2) comply with the requirements of state law for the licensure of pharmacies in each state in which it operates and with all applicable federal and state laws; (3) post on its homepage certain information about the owner of the website, a list of the states in which it operates and is licensed, and certain information about the location of the pharmacy, the qualifications of its pharmacist-in-charge and practitioners who provide medical consultations, and a certification of its registration; and (4) notify the Attorney General and applicable state boards of pharmacy prior to offering to sell, deliver, distribute, or dispense controlled substances over the Internet. Prohibits an online pharmacy from selling a controlled substance over the Internet without a valid prescription. Increases criminal penalties for certain controlled substance offenses. Imposes criminal penalties for the unlawful delivery, distribution, or dispensing of controlled substances over the Internet.
