Safe Disposal of Opioids Act of 2023
Summary
The Safe Disposal of Opioids Act of 2023 aims to reduce the amount of unused prescription drugs in households by providing federal grants to create and maintain local medication disposal sites. To fund these efforts, the bill would require opioid manufacturers and importers to pay a fee on the sale of active opioids. To protect consumers from rising costs, the bill also requires the government to establish a discount system ensuring that patients do not pay for this manufacturer fee when filling their prescriptions.
