Bill Could Make Buying Cold Medicine More Difficult

Last updated on Tuesday, February 17, 2015

(INDIANAPOLIS) - A proposed bill could make buying cold medicine more difficult.

The Senate corrections and criminal law committee is considering a bill that would require courts to report felony drug convictions to an electronic system.

Those on the list would need a prescription to buy cold medicine with a key meth ingredient.

A proposed amendment would make pseudoephedrine prescription only for everyone.

Supporters believe it will lessen Indiana's meth problems.

Others argue it would burden doctors during busy cold and flu seasons.
