CALIFORNIA - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) recently took action on various pieces of legislation, including two HIV/AIDS-related bills that he signed into law, the AP/San Jose Mercury News reports. The first bill (AB 110), sponsored by Assembly member John Laird (D), repeals a ban on using state funds to purchase clean needles and syringes for distribution by needle-exchange programs, according to the AP/Mercury News reports. Needle-exchange programs are legal in California but only if authorized by a city or county. Local and state funding of such programs is legal, but California previously prohibited the use of state grants to purchase needles for the programs. Needle-exchange programs are ineligible for federal funding (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 6/7). Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
