Rep. Grant Legislation Safeguards Patient Privacy and Addresses Opioid Crisis
Wheaton, IL – State Representative Amy Grant (R – Wheaton) introduced HB1879, a bill aimed at tightening the process for picking up Schedule II controlled substances in Illinois. This initiative comes after a shocking incident reported by CBS Chicago, where a Chicago area woman’s opioid prescription was stolen bringing to light a dangerous loophole in current pharmacy privacy protections.
“Protecting our constituents’ privacy, particularly when it concerns their healthcare, is paramount,” stated Rep. Grant. “The opioid crisis in Illinois is a serious epidemic, with more lives lost to the opioid crisis than fatalities from motor vehicle accidents and homicides combined.”
