| | DXM Legislation
The members for the Conference Committee on the DXM bill have all been named. The opposition wants to create a "study session" on the issue of teens abusing common household items. This is an attempt to steer the issue away from any legislation restricting the sale of DXM to youth. We need to let law-makers (and the public) know that this is NOT an undue burden on retailers.
All Rep Nance is asking is a ban on the sale to those under 18, and a limit on the numbers sold at one time to adults.
If one of the conference committee members represents your area, PLEASE contact them and let them know that DXM is a dangerous and emerging drug and we shouldn't put off taking this very reasonable action. If 1 youth dies from DXM use during the next year it is on their hands.
The opposition to this bill is VERY active, if they don't hear from you, then it will fail.
Senators : Laster, Cain, Shurden, Garrison, Justice, Coates
House: Nance, Steele, Cox, Pruett, Balkman, Wilt, Brown
