[Pharmwaste] HR 5809 to House Floor for Vote This Week

[Sierra Fletcher]

Watch for a vote on the House floor on HR 5809, the Safe Drug Disposal Act, THIS WEEK, expected sometime between Wednesday and Friday. This legislation seeks to facilitate drug take-back, and has support from both parties, the Administration, and groups representing such wide-ranging interests as local and state governments, chain pharmacies, and the healthcare distribution industry.

For links to HR 5809, the corresponding Senate bill (S 3397) and several examples of letters of support, please see PSI's webpage:
