todaySeptember 8, 2015

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — State Rep. John Nygren of Marinette says he’s planning to introduce four more bills to combat heroin use. The bills would require doctors to check a statewide database before prescribing opiates; require police who find prescriptions at the scene of an overdose to notify the doctor and enter it in the database; and create registries of pain management clinics and methadone clinics. Nygren’s daughter has struggled with a heroin addiction.
