Subject: [Pharmwaste] Request Support for federal Pharmaceutical Stewardship Act

Dear Colleagues:

I am asking for your support for the federal Pharmaceutical Stewardship Act<https://productstewardship.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/Pharms_reports_factsheets/SLAUGH_019_xml.pdf>, a bill that will soon be formally introduced by Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY).

The Product Stewardship Institute (PSI), with input from many of you, helped develop this bill. It contains all of the elements critical to establishing a successful national producer-funded pharmaceutical take-back program. Importantly, it includes language ensuring that more stringent local legislation would not be preempted.

PSI's support letter is attached here. Please let us know as soon as possible if we can include your company, agency, or organization on this letter among those supporting the bill. Please visit the PSI website<http://www.productstewardship.us/?page=federal_pharms_leg16> to sign the letter by filling out a quick form, and to access the following resources (provided by the Congresswoman's office):


*         Full language of Pharmaceutical Stewardship Act

*         One-page overview

*         Section-by-section summary

If you require more time to add your organization to the letter, please reply and let us know how long it will take you to respond. Feel free to contact PSI's lead on pharmaceuticals, Vivian Futran Fuhrman<mailto:vivian at productstewardship.us> (617-236-4771) with any questions, and thanks in advance for your consideration!

All the best,
Scott
