Bill overview
This bill establishes requirements for the safe collection and destruction of unused medications. It mandates that registered drug collectors install and maintain secure drug take-back bins, including posting signage, limiting public access, and regularly inspecting the bins. The bill also requires collectors to notify local law enforcement of any tampering or loss of controlled substances and prohibits them from receiving compensation for maintaining the bins. Furthermore, it allocates $500,000 from the Fund for a Resilient Nevada to the State Board of Pharmacy to assist with the destruction of home-generated pharmaceutical waste collected through these bins.
