Pseudoephedrine Bill Moves Forward

image The Joplin City Council voted 8-1 last night to advance a bill aimed to curb access to certain over-the-counter (OTC) drugs used in the manufacture of meth.  The bill would require a prescription for any drug containing pseudoephedrine.  Those drugs are currently required to be behind the counter and purchased with an ID, but do not require a doctor’s note.  The bill would only apply to purchases within the city limits of Joplin.

The council is expected to have a 2nd/3rd reading on the bill at their next council meeting.
