Senate passes a syringe exchange bill with more restrictions, including ID requirement

Senate passes a syringe exchange bill with more restrictions, including ID requirement By Senate Health Committee Chairman Mike Maroney speaks on the floor. (Will Price/West Virginia Legislative Photography) Senators amended a bill regulating syringe exchanges in West Virginia communities to make it more restrictive. Once the amendment was adopted, Senators passed the bill 27-7. It was going back to the House of Delegates, which passed the bill yesterday, to either approve or reject the latest changes. The amendment adopted today in the Senate would require identification for those who use community harm reduction services, including needle exchanges. Advocates of the programs have said identification requirements often deter participants, potentially discouraging them from participating in other aspects of harm reduction such as vaccinations or addiction counseling.
