City Of Springfield To Consider New Meth Law

CREATED Jan. 19, 2013

Police in Springfield know there's a meth problem and hope a proposed new law could help reduce the dangers posed by labs that make the illegal drug.

If approved it would allow prescription only for pseudoephedrine which is a key ingredient.  Some local groups oppose the idea saying it may reduce meth labs but not the problem of people using.

A third City Council committee to discuss a prescription requirement has been scheduled for noon Thursday.
