The United States Senate passed the revamped and renewed Patriot Act by 89-10.  Now (as of March 7, 2006) the bill awaits President Bush’s signature to become law.
Along with the anti-terrorism measures, the new version of the Act includes provisions to battle Meth manufacturing, distribution and use across the nation.  Key elements of the move include:

* Move cold medicines with pseudoephedrine, a main ingredient of Meth, behind the counter in retail stores.
* Impose limits on how much a person can buy: 300 30-mg pills in a month and 120 a day. An exception would be "single-use" amounts of individually packaged pseudoephedrine products.   – Starting in April 2006.
* Require signature and identification for purchases.  – Starting September 30, 2006. 
* Authorize $585-million for enforcement, training and research into treatment. The money would include $20-million for grants for children exposed to the Meth drug trade.  
* Criminal provisions would qualify more manufacturers and dealers for "king pin" legal status and subject them to harsher penalties.
