Senate Bill 273 will limit the purchase of cold medicines
containing pseudoephedrine, the main ingredient used to make
methamphetamine, and require individuals to show identification and
sign a log upon purchase of the respective medicines. The
legislation further prohibits anyone younger than 18 from buying
medicine that contains pseudoephedrine. Modeled after an Oklahoma
law that reduced methamphetamine labs by 80 percent only six months
after its enactment, this legislation is proving to be successful in
several surrounding states, including Missouri and Iowa.
Senate Bill 273 will become law when signed by the governor.
