In LA, drug checking services have already helped health officials understand changes in the unregulated drug supply to get ahead of the next wave of the overdose crisis. #AB2136 clarifies the legality of accessing & providing these services in CA to help reduce overdose deaths.
#AB2136 passed Assembly Public Safety Committee, which will protect drug-checking services. We thank author Reggie Jones-Sawyer & committee members for supporting public health solutions to the overdose crisis. drugpolicy.org/news/ca-commit…
Drug-checking bill authored by Reggie Jones-Sawyer cleared Assembly Appropriations today and will move to the floor! #AB2136 helps reduce overdose deaths by clarifying the legality of accessing & providing drug checking services throughout CA.
Thank you, Reggie Jones-Sawyer, for your leadership and commitment to ensuring the safe and legal access to drug adulterant testing services, which are evidence-based and play a vital role in mitigating the risks associated with substance use. #AB2136
So happy to share that 5 of the bills I’m staffing passed Assembly Appropriations and are on their way to the Assembly Floor! #AB1871#AB1927#AB2037#AB2136 & #AB2845 !
