SPRINGFIELD – Compliance is improving, but about half the convenience stores selling ephedrine and pseudoephedrine products are still not obeying a law designed to crack down on illegal methamphetamine labs, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan reported on Wednesday.

A statewide check by Madigan's office and the state police, conducted Oct. 10-19, found 49 percent of convenience stores selling ephedrine and pseudoephedrine products were fully compliant with the law, up from 12 percent during a similar check last spring.
