Orange County plans lawsuit to block state-authorized mobile needle exchange

Days after the state Department of Public Health signed off on a proposed mobile syringe exchange program with stops in four cities, Orange County supervisors vowed to block it with litigation.
Supervisors voted on Friday, Aug. 3, to file a lawsuit against the program, which could begin as soon as Monday under its state authorization.
An organizer of the needle exchange program couldn’t be reached for comment Friday.
