Virgin Islands Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. (D) in June signed a new opioid notification law that will mandate health care providers inform patients of the risks associated with opioid prescriptions. AARP supported the measure.

The bill, now in effect, helps patients and caregivers make safer, more informed decisions about pain management.
