Secure Drug Take-Back Act was signed by Gov. Inslee

On March 22, 2018, Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law House Bill 1047, also known as the Secure Drug Take-Back Act, which establishes the first statewide drug take-back program in the nation. The Act requires manufacturers of “covered drugs” to establish, implement, and fund take-back programs for safe and secure collection and disposal of unwanted medications. The Act will go into effect in June 2018, and “covered manufacturers” will need to submit their proposed programs by July 1, 2019.
