House Passes Drug Recycling Bill

By: Import User
Updated: January 7, 2009
The Arkansas House has passed a so-called "drug recycling" bill without opposition. The proposal would allow the creation of free health clinics to distribute prescription drugs that are not used at nursing homes. Under current rules, those unused drugs are destroyed. But the new measure would set up clinics to give the medicine to people who make too much money to qualify for other government-subsidized health programs, but not enough to pay for the drugs easily. The bill passed 97-0 in the House.
