Repeals existing law to remove the Syringe and Needle Exchange Act.

ThislegislationprotectsIdahoansandtheircommunitiesbyrepealingChapter34, Title37, IdahoCode, relating totheSyringeandNeedleExchangeAct. Needleexchangeshavedemonstratedlittleevidencetheyareconduits for substance abuse treatment. Furthermore, there is little evidence that needle exchanges have reduced the number of needle stick injuries in Idaho’s communities. Given these were the key arguments for implementing the Syringe and Needle Exchange Act, this chapter is rightly repealed.
