Complete·6/10/25

This bill allows syringe service programs in Maine to operate additional locations within the same county.

The bill modifies Maine law to allow certified hypodermic apparatus exchange programs, also known as syringe service programs, to operate additional locations within the same county as the certified program. These programs must notify the state and ensure proper disposal of hypodermic apparatuses. Certified programs must submit monthly reports to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, detailing the locations of additional sites, the number of hypodermic apparatuses collected and disposed of, and any other requested information.
