Governor Daniels Signs Into Law Electronic Tracking Bill

WASHINGTON, May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Consumer Healthcare
Products Association (CHPA) today released the following statement in response
to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels signing into law a bill that requires the
state to track all purchases of products containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) in
real time allowing retailers and pharmacists to block sales to any individual
who exceeds the legal limit:

“Both the executive and legislative branches in Indiana deserve strong praise
today for standing up to those who seek to break the law by purchasing safe and
effective products containing pseudoephedrine for the sole purpose of producing
methamphetamine,” said Elizabeth Funderburk, spokesperson for the Consumer
Healthcare Products Association (CHPA). “The solution reached puts in place
electronic stop sale technology, which will block those seeking to purchase more
than the allowable amount of pseudoephedrine-containing cold and allergy
medications, while ensuring the law-abiding public has access the medicines they
need. Today’s developments in the Hoosier State are a victory for families and
workers, and a significant defeat for criminals.”
