INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A bill aimed at making sure Indiana's methamphetamine laws target people who try to buy cold medicines to make meth is now before the Indiana House.
The Senate voted 46-4 for the legislation on Tuesday.
The bill requires stores selling medications containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine to make clear to customers the legal purchasing limit of those ingredients.
It prohibits a retailer from selling an individual more than 3.6 grams of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine on one day, or nine grams of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine in a 30-day period.
The bill also requires a retailer to electronically transmit certain information concerning the sale of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine to a statewide tracking system.
