An Act repealing the sunset date for drug stewardship
This bill (SD 937) removes an automatic expiration date for a drug stewardship program established under Chapter 52 of the 2016 Acts. It repeals Sections 55 and 77 of that law, which previously set a sunset date (ending the program on a specific future date). By eliminating this expiration, the bill ensures the drug stewardship program remains in effect indefinitely without needing future legislative action. The change directly affects the ongoing operation of the state's drug stewardship program, extending its legal authority permanently.
