STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS26841
This legislation adds permissive language for groups wishing to implement a Syringe and/or Needle
Exchange Program. Facilities would be allowed to provide a new sterile needle in exchange for a used
syringe on a strictly one-to-one basis.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund because the program is completely voluntary in nature. Any
costs incurred would be borne by the organization conducting the exchange.
