State Assemblyman John Lemondes has introduced a bill to establish and maintain a dedicated opiate addiction treatment facility, and to divert certain defendants in opiate-related criminal cases into treatment. This would improve access and help people struggling with addiction to avoid criminal records and receive needed treatments. Write to your representatives today and urge them to support this important legislation!
