Bill overview
This bill amends existing Michigan law to create and regulate needle and hypodermic syringe access programs (referred to as ‘programs’). It allows individuals or organizations authorized by the state or a local government agency to distribute sterile needles and syringes to people or provide related services to reduce the spread of communicable diseases. The bill also clarifies that participation in these programs does not constitute a violation of drug possession laws, and outlines specific rules and procedures for establishing and operating such programs.
