California AB1394 would establish a program to distribute opioid disposal systems to mitigate opioid misuse and overdose.

California AB1394 aims to reduce opioid misuse, diversion, and fatal overdose by establishing a statewide program. The State Department of Public Health would award funding to distribute personal opioid drug deactivation and disposal systems. These systems allow patients to deactivate and permanently render their opioid drugs nonretrievable and nonabusable. The program prioritizes communities disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis and includes an online portal for individuals to request these systems.
