SB 1069 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Limits the sale or purchase of certain drugs

SB 1069 limits the purchase and sale of drugs containing ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, or pseudoephedrine (common methamphetamine precursors) by setting strict daily, monthly, and annual purchase caps. It prohibits selling or buying more than 3.6 grams in 24 hours, 7.2 grams in 30 days, or 61.2 grams in a year to a single person, regardless of transaction count. Pharmacies must sell these products behind counters, maintain sales records accessible to law enforcement, and manufacturers must pay fees starting in 2026 for a real-time tracking system. The law preempts local regulations requiring prescriptions for these products within the set limits.
