The State Attorney General has issued a ruling in connection with city ordinances in a number of cities in the state concerning the sell of Pseudoephedrine and Ephedrine products. State Representative Judd Matheny had requested the opinion on behalf of several municipalities in his district concerning the control of the products.
According to the Attorney General Robert Cooper Jr. issued an opinion that stated that enactment by a county or municipality of a local ordinance that “prohibits the sale delivery or distribution of over the counter products ephedrine or Pseudoephedrine without a valid prescription from a health care professional would violate” state law.
On the question of whether or not the state law supersede local laws or ordinances that regulates the sales of the products, Cooper wrote, that the General Assembly passed regulations that prevents “local enactment now or in the future.”
The Attorney General noted that current law restricts the limit to the amount of Pseudoephedrine products a person can purchase per day to 3.6 grams and nine grams in a 30-day period.
