Bill Summary
Relative to Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution designates the month of March each year as Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month, aiming to raise public awareness about the serious issue of prescription drug abuse and misuse. The resolution highlights alarming statistics, such as the significant number of deaths and emergency room visits related to prescription drug overdoses and misuse, and the substantial healthcare costs incurred annually. It notes that many individuals obtain prescription drugs from friends or family rather than medical professionals, and that a vast quantity of prescription painkillers are sold. The resolution encourages citizens to participate in prevention programs and activities, emphasizing safe storage and disposal of medications, and using them only as prescribed, with a call to action to "Spread the Word ... One Pill Can Kill."
