A bill aimed at curbing meth use in Oklahoma goes to the state Senate.

"The Trooper Nikki Green Act" passed the state House by a unanimous vote of 99 to 0. Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Green was gunned down last December while investigating a man accused of operating a mobile meth lab.

The bill would force anyone buying products that contain pseuodephedrine, the main ingredient used to make meth, to sign a log and show a photo ID. Trooper Green's wife and two of his daughters were at the capitol as the bill passed.

Linda Green, â€œI would like to thank the brotherhood of law enforcement officers from across the state for the love and concern they've shown our family in this time of tragedy.â€

The stretch of highway Trooper Green patrolled in Tillman County will also be named after him.
