Summary of Bill S 4152

The DISPOSE Act, also known as Bill 118 s 4152, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address the issue of unused or expired prescription medications and their safe disposal.

The bill aims to establish a grant program that would provide funding to states and local governments to implement programs for the safe disposal of prescription drugs. These programs would allow individuals to safely dispose of their unused medications at designated drop-off locations, such as pharmacies or law enforcement agencies.

Additionally, the DISPOSE Act would require drug manufacturers to develop and implement a plan for the safe disposal of their products. This plan would need to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and would include provisions for educating consumers on how to properly dispose of their medications. Overall, the DISPOSE Act seeks to address the growing problem of prescription drug misuse and abuse by providing individuals with a safe and convenient way to dispose of their unused medications. By implementing these measures, the bill aims to reduce the environmental impact of improper drug disposal and prevent these medications from falling into the wrong hands.
