In issuing the conditional veto, Governor Christie cited the need to weigh both unnecessary impediments for individuals who use injectable medications and the need for additional public safety measures to limit the distribution of needles or syringes used for non-medical purposes while also discouraging minors from buying needles or syringes. Among the Governor’s recommendations is the requirement of purchasers to present a photo identification to demonstrate proof of age, similar to requirements in federal law for various cold medicines. Additionally, the changes would require the Department of Health & Senior Services to provide pharmacies information about syringe disposal and substance abuse treatment.
