COLD MEDS RX BILL GOES TO GOVERNOR
The Senate on Tuesday sent to the governor House Bill 512, which
supporters say is designed to curtail the state's escalating meth
activity. The House earlier passed the bill. Gov. Haley Barbour said
he would sign the bill.
The law would go into effect July 1. Oregon passed a similar law in 2006.
Barbour said the new law would "make it more difficult to obtain the
ingredients for this drug that tears families apart and harms many of
our communities. Meth labs threaten public safety, and I don't think
there is any doubt we will see a drop in the number of labs in our state."
