Voters in a southern Kansas community have rejected a proposal to require prescriptions for cold and allergy medicines containing a key ingredient in methamphetamine.

The Wellington Daily News reports Tuesday’s vote was 652-229 against the measure.

The proposal would have required consumers to get a prescription for cold and allergy remedies containing the decongestant pseudoephedrine. A Kansas law aimed at fighting meth production already requires consumers to show identification and sign a log to buy such medicines.

The Wellington City Council could still adopt an ordinance making pseudoephedrine a prescription drug. But the Daily News reports that such a step is unlikely, since the council sent the proposal to voters in the first place
