Senate Review by Sen. Rick Brinkley |
March 30, 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Curbing methamphetamine production in Oklahoma while protecting the basic rights of our law-abiding citizens is one of the central challenges facing Oklahoma lawmakers.
Meth is a highly addictive drug that can ruin lives and devastate families. There have been heated arguments in recent weeks as policymakers consider the best path forward for tackling this critical issue. Despite the differing policy positions, both sides agree that our state must do everything possible to win the battle against meth.
After dozens of meetings and committee votes, the House and Senate have passed two common-sense bills that target meth criminals and protect responsible Oklahomans access to popular and reliable medicines containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) such as Claritin-D and Mucinex D. Representative David Derby and I are proud of the bills we put forwardHB 2941 and SB 1634which have been approved in their respective houses and are now one step closer to becoming law..
Some of our House and Senate colleagues have advocated for a prescription mandate approach that would force all Oklahomans to see a doctor before obtaining certain cold and allergy medicines. While I respect the opinion of those legislators, a recently released economic impact study found that a prescription mandate would lead to the addition of more than 296,000 new doctors visits with expenditures reaching as much as $59 million in the state. Oklahomans would see their health care costs rise, and businesses would experience productivity declines as employees would be forced to take involuntary time off work to visit the doctor.
SB 1634 and HB 2941 offer a much more reasonable approach. Our legislation will implement real-time enhancements to Oklahomas electronic blocking system and ensure it is online with the 19 other states that use real-time, stop-sale technology to block unlawful PSE sales. The technology will empower pharmacists by enabling them to deny illegal purchases right at the sales counter. It will also provide law enforcement with valuable criminal data up to the second. Our bills also strengthen Oklahomas meth offender registry and reduce the PSE daily and monthly purchasing limits and virtually cuts in half the annual limit from 108 grams to 60 grams.
We realize our legislation does not offer a silver bullet in the fight against meth. Unfortunatelyas we saw with the recent 15-ton meth bust in Mexico foreign sources of meth remain a significant challenge for all levels of government. Im confident, however, that SB 1634 and HB 2941 offer a chance for Oklahoma to gain the upper hand against domestic meth producers.
I am grateful that both bills won strong support in the House and Senate this week.
Please feel free to contact me at the state Capitol by calling (405) 521-5566 or by email at brinkley@oksenate.gov. -30- |
