Senate Bill (SB) 1159 went into effect January 1, 2005. This legislation allows for the creation of a Disease Prevention Demonstration Project (DPDP) in cities and counties that authorize such a program. An authorized DPDP permits certified pharmacies to sell syringes over-the-counter to individuals 18 years of age or older. This legislation will further efforts across the state to prevent the spread of HIV, hepatitis, and other blood-borne diseases.
