Alameda County Delays Vote on Rx Drug ‘Take Back’ Plan
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors decided to delay a vote on an ordinance that would have made the county the first local government to require drugmakers to take back unused products. The move comes after a week of heavy lobbying by pharmaceutical companies that argued that the ordinance was unnecessary and would be a significant burden.
