Personal opioid drug deactivation and disposal systems.

Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health, subject to an appropriation, to award naloxone grant funding to local health departments, local government agencies, or others in order to reduce the rate of fatal overdose from opioids.

This bill, subject to an appropriation, would require the department to establish and administer a statewide program to distribute personal opioid drug deactivation and disposal systems to individuals to encourage safe and environmentally responsible disposal practices and mitigate risks associated with unused or expired prescription and illicit opioids, as specified.
