The bill, pushed by Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, requires stores to keep popular cold medications such as Sudafed behind counters. Buyers have to be at least 18 and sign a log with name, address, time of purchase and type of product. The log will be kept confidential, but it will be available to police officers.
No one may buy more than two packages of the cold medicine at one time, and monthly purchases are limited.
The new law will take effect Jan. 15.

I think it'd be less work to legally buy a gun and shoot myself next time I get the sniffles.
