Attached is the 2016 annual report  Commissioner Shore just completed.  The first several pages provide an overview of Cook County’s efforts to pass a pharmaceutical EPR bill. There’s a shout-out to those of us who helped them pass their drug  take-back ordinance
 including  the <span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="http://www.nsaction.us/">National Stewardship Action Council</a>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to helping any county that wishes to consider an ordinance for safe medicine disposal where producers share the cost of the program.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us if interested in how to do it.  California has 8 ordinances
 already and three more in process and are happy to share our knowledge with others as we have with Cook County.<o:p></o:p></p>
