TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) - Gov. Mitch Daniels signed legislation Tuesday requiring many stores to keep cold medicines in a locked case or behind a counter if they contain ingredients used to make methamphetamine.
The new law, approved unanimously by the General Assembly last month, places restrictions on the sale and purchase of drugs containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, which are commonly found in over-the-counter cold and allergy remedies.
"There are campers, kids, hunters, conservation officers tripping over meth labs in the course of their daily work," the governor said, calling Vigo County the "epicenter of a scourge, which has now touched every corner of Indiana."
