Senator Ross Appointed to Special Committee on Addiction Prevention

State Senator Richard Ross (R-Wrentham) was appointed to the special committee on addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery options by minority leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). The special committee intends to review existing state laws and funding, as well as implement and enforce recently enacted substance abuse legislation.
In addition to conducting a thorough review, the committee will aim to make recommendations to further strengthen opioid abuse prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery options as well as access to such programs for all residents of Massachusetts.
Ross also serves on the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse and previously served on two special committees pertaining to the cause.
“This is an epidemic that does not discriminate by race, gender, education or income. This is affecting everyone in our society, especially our youth,” said Ross.
