Kentucky and Indiana have announced a pilot partnership to expand Kentucky’s MethCheck electronic pseudoephedrine monitoring system to deter individuals from crossing state lines to purchase the main ingredient in methamphetamine or meth.
State and local law enforcement agencies will work with border counties to adopt local ordinances requiring the sale of pseudoephedrine be handled by a pharmacist and allow these counties to participate in the MethCheck program free of charge for one year. This pilot program marks the first time that the two states have shared electronic pseudoephedrine purchase information on a real-time basis.
