On June 30, 2017, Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy signed into law An Act Preventing Prescription Opioid Diversion and Abuse (Public Act No. 17-131). This legislation addresses opioid drug abuse in Connecticut by revising current laws related to controlled substance prescribing and disposal and enacting new laws regarding opioid abuse prevention and treatment.
