LAWMAKERS OK NEEDLE EXCHANGE
TRENTON -- Cities would be allowed to set up programs giving drug
addicts access to clean needles under a measure passed by the
Legislature yesterday that has the support of Gov. Jon S. Corzine.
Both the Senate and Assembly approved the measure, which allows up to
six New Jersey communities to set up clean-needle-exchange programs
and provides $10 million of state funding for drug-abuse-treatment programs.
The measure passed 23-16 in the Senate and 49-27 with four
abstentions in the Assembly, where the debate was not nearly as
fierce or lengthy.
