Comprehensive anti-meth bill to fight the scourge of meth
Governor Gregoire in 2006 signed into law a comprehensive anti-meth bill. The new law increased the number of drug treatment beds in prison; funded studies to determine how our state can be more effective in combating meth use;
and allocated $1.6 million dollars in state money to replace federal cuts. The new law also recognized the scourge that meth has had on our rural communities and created three new regional task forces to prevent meth trafficking.
