	Nine Bills Targeting Prescription Drug Misuse Signed Into Law In
Utah.

	The Desert Morning News (UT) (4/29) reports, "Nine bills that
target Utah's biggest drug problem -- prescription misuse and abuse"
have been "signed into law...by Gov. Gary Herbert."

	These "bills impose hundreds of changes designed to reduce the
exploitation of prescription drugs by reducing availability for abuse,
increase the awareness of risk to include the physical and psychological
harmful and legal sanctions, and decrease tolerance of the non-medical
use of pharmaceutical drugs." 

	Additionally, "they added the muscle relaxer Soma [carisoprodol]
to the state's controlled substances list, make the selling of fake
versions of illegal drugs no different than selling the real thing and
sets up a network for disposing expired prescriptions pills that
normally sit unused."
