Senate Panel Backs Limits on Cold Medicines Sales
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bipartisan bill to require behind the counter sales of pseudoephedrine medicines like Sudafed and NyQuil. Purchasers must show photo IDs, sign a log, and stay under 7 500 milligrams per 30 days, with state tracking to enforce limits. Affected stores would face tighter controls similar to Iowa and Nebraska moves, while Walgreen Co. agreed to pay 1 300 000 in settlements and spend 1 000 000 for monitoring.
