The
United States Senate passed the revamped and renewed Patriot Act by 89-10
and President Bush signed it into law in March, 2006.
Along with the anti-terrorism measures, the new version of the Act
includes provisions to battle Meth manufacturing, distribution and use
across the nation. Key elements of the move include:
* Move cold medicines with
pseudoephedrine, a main ingredient of Meth, behind the counter in retail
stores.
* Impose limits on how much a person
can buy: 300 30-mg pills in a month and 120 a day. An exception would be
"single-use" amounts of individually packaged pseudoephedrine products.
– Starting in April 2006.
* Require signature and identification
for purchases. – Starting September 30, 2006.
* Authorize $585-million for
enforcement, training and research into treatment. The money would include
$20-million for grants for children exposed to the Meth drug trade.
* Criminal provisions would qualify
more manufacturers and dealers for "king pin" legal status and subject
them to harsher penalties.
