An Act establishing a special commission to study the prevention of heroin trafficking

This bill creates a special commission to investigate how heroin is trafficked into and within Massachusetts and to propose ways to stop it. The commission will include representatives from health agencies, law enforcement, pharmacies, and the general public, along with elected officials from both legislative chambers. Its members must meet by December 1, 2023, and submit their findings and any suggested laws by December 1, 2024. The group will focus on developing both legislative and policing strategies to prevent future heroin trafficking.
