The Herald-Dispatch on a possible bill that would “revamp” needle exchange programs: The harm reduction program known as the needle exchange operated by the Cabell- Huntington Health Department does good work, yet the West Virginia State Senate wants to end it. Senate Bill 334 was approved by the Senate last week and now is in the hands of the House of Delegates. It establishes a licensing program within the Department of Health and Human Resources for harm reduction programs operating syringe exchanges. Under SB 334, all new and existing programs would need to apply to the Office for Health Facility Licensure and Certification. Programs would need approval of the county commission and the county sheriff. They would be required to pay an application fee and have a 30-day comment period before they could go into effect.
