HARTFORD — Governor Dan Malloy introduced a bill at the Capitol Tuesday aimed at combating the opioid crisis.
The legislation builds on a series of reforms that the governor signed into law on the issue since 2011.
Some of the new reforms would include requiring electronic prescriptions for opioids to combat fraud; Allowing patients to include in their medical files a form indicating that they do not want to be prescribed or receive opioid medication; Require more information to be provided about the risk of addiction; and help make destruction of unused medication easier.
Malloy met with the Connecticut Alcohol And Drug Policy Council.
