WAC 246-889-070
Retail sales logs for ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine products. Purpose.
The legislature has recognized that restricting access to
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine products,
or their salts or isomers, is a valid method to reduce the
availability of these products for the illegal manufacture of
methamphetamine. To reduce the illegal use of these products
in the manufacture of methamphetamine, while continuing access
for legitimate purposes, the legislature directed the board to
adopt rules for the recording of retail sales involving
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine products.
The record of sales must be collected and maintained in a
written or electronic log or other alternative means. Data
from this log will be used to determine if the log is an
effective law enforcement tool and if the information received
is an effective deterrent to criminal activity. The following
rules describe the requirements for the transaction logs.
