Governor Signs BM 110 Fix Bill

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has signed a bill that changes Ballot Measure 110. It's the bill that decriminalized possession of small amounts of illegal drugs and required addiction treatment facilities around the state. HB 2513 fixes several aspects of the voter approved law that's drawn criticism for not working. It simplifies access to treatment services, adds staff, creates a hotline to access services, and improves data collection to monitor the programs. The Governor has not signed HB 2645 that would create a misdemeanor penalty for fentanyl possession. Kotek has until July 25th to sign or veto bills from the Legislature.
