The Delaware Senate on Thursday gave final approval to a pair of bills aimed at preventing the over-prescription of opioid drugs and authorizing the Department of Justice to assist patients being denied treatment for substance abuse. The move rounds out Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn’s legislative package to fight the state’s growing opioid crisis.
