[Pharmwaste] IL House Bill passes funding drug disposal

[Jeff Hollar]

HB2056 is the first law in America that completely handles and funds
pharmaceutical disposal for an entire state.

"Municipalities and state governments don't have to pay," says Paul Ritter,
ecology teacher and director of the National Prescription Pill and Drug
Disposal Program (P2D2). The program is funded by enacting a $20 fine
against anyone convicted of certain drug offenses.

There is a neat video that goes along with the story.  Let's see if it will
pass the Senate and be signed into law.
