[Pharmwaste] Free Webinar: Alameda County Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Pharmaceutical Take-Back

[Waneta Trabert]

Just a reminder that the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) is holding a free webinar<http://www.productstewardship.us/event/on-the-road-after-the-alameda-decision> tomorrow, June 9th from 2-3:30pm EDT, to help  those interested in extended producer responsibility for drug take-back programs understand the implications of the May 26th Supreme Court decision.

What this webinar is about...






Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court declined to hear Big Pharma's petition against the Alameda County drug take-back ordinance, paving the way for similar EPR legislation around the country. In this webinar, our expert speakers will explore the legal and technical aspects of this decision, and the effect it will have on state and local governments, and other stakeholders. We will cover:

 *   The origins of Alameda County's interest in developing a take-back law, and the actions taken to build a coalition for passage;
 *   The current status of Alameda County's drug take-back program implementation;
 *   The basis for the challenge to the Alameda County ordinance, and the likely reasons the Supreme Court decided in favor of the county;
 *   How to write pharmaceutical take-back legislation to minimize the risk of future litigation; and
 *   How litigation risk varies among circuit jurisdictions around the nation.
There will be an extended Q&A session following the presentations.

Speakers include...

*         Dr. Joel Kreisberg, DC, CCH, ACC | Executive Director, Teleosis Institute<http://www.teleosis.org/>
