COMMITTEE PASSES CORNYN-KLOBUCHAR BILL FOR SAFE DISPOSAL OF MEDICATION

Published 07/29/2010 - 4:40 p.m. CST

Legislation promotes take-back programs to collect and destroy unused, unwanted, or expired medications to help protect teens.

WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed legislation introduced by Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) that would provide consumers with safe and responsible ways to dispose of unused controlled substances. Consumers currently seeking to reduce the amount of expired or otherwise unwanted prescription drugs in their homes have few disposal options, increasing the risk that teenagers will gain access to them. The Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 seeks to reduce that risk by permitting individuals and long-term care facilities to deliver unused drugs for safe disposal and promoting the development and expansion of drug take-back programs.
