Sacramento: California parliamentarians will wait until next year to continue to consider the bills that will give opioid users a place to inject drugs in supervised settings, said Bill writer Tuesday.
The state of Senator Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, said he was told that the Assembly’s health committee would delay the trial on his bill until January.
The size will allow Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles County to start a program that gives people places to inject drugs while trained staff are available to help if they suffer from accidental overdoses.
“Safe consumption sites are a proven strategy to save lives and help people become recovery,” Wiener said.
At present the site is illegal in the United States, but is legal in Canada.
Wiener’s bill clean the senate in April with the minimum number of sounds needed for the part there.
The Senate Republican Caucus said in a statement at that time the bill would “build a taxpayer officer and recorded the medicine.” This proposal was opposed by several law enforcement groups, but Wiener said in a statement that it was “very alive, even though it was delayed.” Similar bills authorized injection sites have passed both legislative rooms in the past five years, and such bills have repeatedly passed the Assembly Health Committee during that time, said Wiener.
Former Democratic Governor Jerry Brown in 2018 Mengveto bills that would allow San Francisco to offer injection sites.
Wiener noted that he was disappointed with another delay at a time when he said San Francisco and other cities were experiencing an overdose death record.
The bill will need workers in the centers to try to make users become a drug care program or refer them to a health care or social or mental health care program.
The former Trump government was required to block the injection site proposed in Philadelphia, and the federal appeal court sided with the government earlier this year.
Supporters have appealed and hoped the administration of President Joe Biden would drop a lawsuit.
