SB 486 made California the first state in the nation to require drug manufacturers to submit plans that provide for the safe disposal of used needles. The bill was proposed in Simitian’s annual “There Oughta Be A Law” contest, by a constituent from San Carlos who lives with Multiple Sclerosis. In California, approximately one in 12 households have someone who must self-administer injections to treat a variety of medical conditions.
