Item Detail:
L3.     WRITTEN MOTION, Councillor Coelho, requesting, that the Police Department provide the City Council with the number of repeat overdoses in a twenty-four hour period in New Bedford, and that we look into possibly drafting an Ordinance addressing the matter; and further; that we ask our State Legislative Delegation to assist us in drafting policy that would make it mandatory that anyone who overdoses, especially those who overdose repeatedly, not be treated and released, but held in the hospital for twenty-four hour surveillance, they are a harm to themselves and to society and are using up our resources. (To be Referred to the Committees on Ordinances and Public Safety and Neighborhoods.)
