House Approves Expanded Needle Exchange Program For City

The Maryland House of Delegates has passed a measure to allow drug users to get more than one clean needle at one time in Baltimore's needle exchange program.

The House voted 84-51 Friday for the bill.

The measure repeals a requirement that needles be exchanged on a one-for-one basis. It would limit new needles to 10 for one used one.

Other cities have expanded such programs to cut down on diseases like AIDS that spread by intravenous drug use.
