Measure 110, the drug decriminalization and addiction treatment law passed overwhelmingly by Oregon voters in November 2020, is failing to boost Oregon's drug treatment system, according to a new audit released Thursday morning.
However, the audit report from Secretary of State Shemia Fagan's office and the Oregon Health Authority also detailed that it's "too early" to determine the effectiveness of Measure 110 and its programs in Oregon.
“It is plain as day that Oregon’s drug treatment system is failing,” Fagan said in a statement. “This is incredibly frustrating for me, and many Oregonians, because treatment is a matter of life and death for people we know. I have a brother in recovery right now. I want to see Measure 110 work.”
Fagan spoke with the media to answer questions in a virtual news conference Thursday morning.
