RALEIGH -- A new year brings new laws to North Carolina.

Starting Sunday, pharmacies will be required to enter customers into a national database when they want to buy cold medicine that contains pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient in making meth.

Criminals convicted of misdemeanors will be housed in county jails rather than in state prisons. This new law is approved by the legislature with the goal of reducing correctional costs.

The state tax collector will have fewer powers to force corporations to redo their tax returns if they're suspected of dodging taxes.
