Washington 14th District State Representative Gina Mosbrucker has introduced a bill called “Ivan’s Law” in an attempt to deal with a few of the many issues surrounding fentanyl.  It’s one of the results of a series of community meetings on the drug and is named for Ivan Howtopat, who died last May when he had fentanyl in his system and hanged himself in a jail cell.  Mosbrucker says one of the stories she heard was from a former fentanyl user who told her that asking an addict if they want to go to treatment rather than jail while being arrested didn’t work. Instead the treatment question should be asked when that person is being released from jail and has had the opportunity to detox.  The bill calls for the people who have been jailed for substance abuse and have sobered up to be asked if they would like to get help before they are released.  It gets a hearing before a House committee on Friday morning.
