A local representative has introduced a bill to stop the selling of multiple opiates.

 

Congressman Rodney Davis indicates he became aware of the problem after hearing from a police officer in Normal, IL.

 

 

 

Congressman Davis says the bill would require prescriptions for opiates to be monitored by Illinois' prescription drug monitoring program and would prevent other pharmacists from filling the same prescription.

 

 

 

Davis indicates the bill is something that he has been working on for awhile now and was recently referred to the House Energy and Commerce Sumcommittee on Health.
