An Act strengthening prescription drug safety and drug stewardship
This bill repeals two existing sections of Massachusetts law related to prescription drug safety and stewardship. By removing these specific legal provisions, the legislation effectively eliminates the current requirements they established. The bill does not introduce new rules or create new obligations for individuals or organizations. Instead, its primary action is to delete the text of Section 55 and Section 77 from Chapter 52 of the Acts of 2016.
