Lawmakers Consider Bill to Crack Down on Theft of Addictive Medications
(Springfield, IL) — Illinois lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it tougher to illegally obtain an addictive medication from their pharmacist.

Legislation proposed by State Representative Amy Grant would require a person to show identification — such as a driver’s license — to pick up their prescription.
