Stop Meth Bill Introduced in Legislature
 (File Photo) By: Monte Schisler, News Director It’s called House Bill 13-28, stop meth legislation introduced in the Missouri House, that if approved, would enact tougher penalties for criminals in possession of pseudoephedrine. The proposal would also reduce the monthly and annual purchase amount of cold medications that contain the ingredient, and would require anyone convicted of a drug related offense obtain a prescription for any cold medicines that include pseudoephedrine. The bill would also allow a pharmacist to deny the sale of pseudoephedrine products at their discretion. The proposed legislation has bi-partisan support from the two lawmakers who introduced the idea - State Representatives Stanley Cox, a Republican from Sedalia, and Democrat Chris Carter from St. Louis. A similar proposal came up last year in the Missouri House, but the measure died in the Senate. Locally, the City of Hollister last year approved an ordinance requiring a prescription for the sale of any over the counter cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine. The Branson Board of Aldermen held one public hearing on the idea last year, and City Hall says its likely Board members will discuss a similar proposal in coming weeks. Law enforcement across the state say pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in making methamphetamine. =====(2nd Version)===== It’s called House Bill 13-28, stop meth legislation introduced in the Missouri House, that if approved, would enact tougher penalties for criminals in possession of pseudoephedrine.
