For legislation to strengthen prescription drug safety and drug stewardship. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to strengthen prescription drug safety and drug stewardship in Massachusetts. It does so by repealing two sections of previous legislation - Section 55 of Chapter 52 of the Acts of 2016, as amended by Chapter 351 of the Acts of 2016, as well as Section 77 of Chapter 52 of the Acts of 2016. The repeal of these sections suggests changes to the existing laws related to mental health, substance use, and recovery in the state.
