Urge the PA General Assembly to Oppose the Methadone Accountability Package
The Issue
A package of legislation was recently introduced in the state senate, called the Methadone Accountability Package. These bills and a resolution include S.B. 1293, S.B. 1294 - the Methadone Addiction Prevention and Treatment Act, S.B. 1376, S.B. 1377, S.B. 1378, S.B. 1382, S.B. 1383, and S.R. 348. This package of legislation would interfere with the rights of doctors and patients to determine how long treatment is needed. Enacting this law would drive many methadone patients to return to using illegal opioids, like heroin. Please support Pennsylvanians right to medical freedom by signing a petition urging senators in the PA General Assembly to oppose this package of legislation.
