[Pharmwaste] Re: [SFBAY_Pharm_Disp] California Pharmaceutical Take-Back Legislation Introduced

[Shafir.Wendi at EPA.GOV]

I got a bit of insight on this proposed legislation:

As for SB966 (Simitian), it's one of "those bills" designed mainly to
bring attention to the topic and not necessarily for passage.  The
language as introduced, would put every gas station and corner grocer
(read local mom and pop store) out of business * not mention the slew
of federal regs involved.  SB966 will likely die in committee, but the
senator will have brought much-needed attention to the topic.

Woohoo!!! We need to build support for this bill. Southern & Central
California in particular.

Don't know any details yet, including the plan for managing controlled
substances. Will share as I learn more.
