Misuse of Drugs (Pseudoephedrine) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
The purpose of this bill is to change the classification of pseudoephedrine as a controlled drug, so that cold and flu products containing pseudoephedrine can be sold in pharmacies without a prescription.MP in charge
