IL SB3502

County boards may adopt ordinances requiring prescription-only dispensing of all ephedrine and pseudoephedrine products, regardless of over-the-counter marketing status.

Receiving ephedrine or pseudoephedrine products without a prescription in counties with such ordinances is a Class A misdemeanor for first offense and Class 4 felony for subsequent offenses.

Home rule municipalities cannot regulate ephedrine or pseudoephedrine in a manner inconsistent with county ordinances adopted under this act.

The Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act is amended to make county ephedrine/pseudoephedrine ordinances applicable to pharmacy distribution requirements and purchase limits.

Existing restrictions on methamphetamine precursor purchases remain in effect, including the 7,500 milligram 30-day limit, 2-package per transaction limit, and identification/logging requirements.
