Methamphetamine Epidemic Elimination Act

From SSDPedia

The Methamphetamine Epidemic Elimination Act, also known as H.R. 3889, is a law set in place by the United

States government to better regulates the trafficking of methamphetamine, domestically and internationally, as well as environmental regulations of methamphetamine by-products. It focuses on local, state, national, and international levels. President Bush signed the law in March 2006. One of the biggest proponents of the law was Republican Senator Mark Souder, of Indiana.

[edit] International Focus

The international focus is on China (most specifically Hong Kong) and Mexico because China was shipping pseudoephedrine tablets to Mexico, in order to be used in the making of methamphetamine. According to the DEA, "The United States and Mexico have obtained a commitment by Hong Kong not to ship chemicals to the United States, Mexico, or Panama until receiving an import permit or equivalent documentation and to pre-notify the receiving country before shipment."

The United States has also stepped up it's support of Mexican drug enforcement, in order to stop methamphetamine production in Mexico.
