At the Delaware County Courthouse, I joined several of my House colleagues, representatives of the Delaware County Police Chiefs Association, Delaware County District Attorney's Office and certified recovery specialists at a news conference to promote legislation to encourage drug overdose victims to get into treatment. House Bill 2147, of which I am a co-sponsor, would require those who recover from an overdose to receive a screening and referral for treatment by a trained medical professional in order to avoid being charged. This bill offers hope that addicted individuals will get the help they need and break the bonds of addiction.
