A JOINT RESOLUTION to authorize the legislative research commission to study the proliferation of meth labs in North carolina and the dangers and hazards posed by those labs to the safety and health of children.

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

SECTION 1.  The Legislative Research Commission shall study the proliferation of meth labs in this State and the dangers and hazards posed by meth labs to the safety and health of children who are exposed to the manufacture of methamphetamine in those labs.   In its study the Commission may consider causes for the increase in meth labs, how people are getting around the legislation enacted in recent years restricting the sale of pseudoephedrine, the manufacturing methods currently used to make methamphetamine, and the many situations and circumstances in which a child's health and safety is threatened by the child's proximity to the lab or association with individuals manufacturing methamphetamine.  The Commission may further consider how other states have addressed these issues and any other issue the Commission finds relevant to this topic.

SECTION 2.  The Legislative Research Commission may make an interim report to the 2011 General Assembly when it reconvenes in 2012 and shall make its final report to the 2013 General Assembly.

SECTION 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
