Bill > A00060

This bill enacts the Safer Consumption Services Act, which provides for the establishment of a program to offer safe injection sites. The bill allows the Department of Health or local health districts to approve entities, such as community organizations or healthcare providers, to operate these programs. The programs must meet certain requirements, including providing a hygienic space for drug consumption, offering sterile injection supplies, and providing referrals to other services. The bill also provides legal immunity to program participants, staff, and property owners from certain criminal and administrative penalties related to the program.
