This week, I introduced H.R. 5628, the Access to Increased Drug Disposal (AIDD) Act of 2018 along with @RepTomMarino, @davidcicilline, and @RepPaulTonko. This bill aims to increase participation in the DEA's Drug Takeback Day.https://mckinley.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1323 …

Drug Takeback Day has been a useful tool as we seek to curb the growing epidemic of prescription opioid abuse. Having excess and unused medicine lying around is a recipe for danger. These pills need to be safely and properly disposed of so they won’t be misused, stolen or sold.

WV has 104 venues that host Drug Takeback Day events. The largest obstacle to greater participation is the high cost. This bill will create a grant opportunity for pharmacies and other proper venues to offer this service, and safely dispose of the unused opioid pills.
