Prevention Alliance of Tennessee Has Identified Legislative Issues

When coalitions across Tennessee joined together to create the Prevention Alliance of Tennessee (PAT), the main interest was to discuss shared legislative issues  across the state. The issues identified by PAT for the 2015 legislative session are:

• Advocate for the repeal of the Intractable Pain Treatment Act
• Advocate for enhanced rules to regulate pain clinics to ensure they discourage illegal practices and increase standards of quality
• Oppose legalization of marijuana until guidelines have been established (based on EFFECTIVE state models)
• Advocate for sustainable funding for prevention coalition sustainability

For more information on the Intractable Pain Treatment Act and Marijuana, white papers can be found on their website.
