Model state drug laws
Legislation that is ready to file.
The National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL) is FDPS’s model-law division and the nation’s foremost experts on model drug legislation. These acts have been drafted, vetted and adopted, so your state does not have to start from scratch.
