LANSING, MI (WKZO) - A new tool in the battle to combat methamphetamine could be deployed in Michigan soon.
The State House has passed a bill, sponsored by freshman lawmaker Amanda Price of Park Township, which would mandate a statewide, real-time computerized monitoring system for the sales of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, two key ingredients in the production of meth.
It would enable pharmacies to swipe the driver’s license of purchasers, which would then access a data base to indicate previous purchases.
Currently, customers have to sign a paper log. More than a dozen states have already put such a system into use.
