Legislation

Miley authored the Safe Medication Disposal ordinance, the first such ordinance in the nation to mandate product stewardship from pharmaceutical companies. The ordinance was passed in 2012 and it requires drug manufacturers to take ownership of the disposal costs of unused medicines in Alameda County. [3]

Trade associations representing the manufacturers and distributors of pharmaceutical products filed a lawsuit against Alameda County, alleging that the ordinance violated the dormant Commerce Clause of the Constitution of the United States, as it interfered with interstate commerce. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California found that the ordinance does serve a legitimate public health and safety interest and the relatively modest costs to producers do not unduly burden interstate commerce. [3] On May 26, 2015, when the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear the challenge brought by the pharmaceutical industry against the county without comment, which affirmed the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals decision upholding the U.S. District Court's decision in favor of Alameda County's Safe Drug Disposal Ordinance.

Current priorities

More than nine years ago a resolution by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors called for national reconciliation and reparations due to centuries of slavery in the U.S. On October 6, 2020, the Board of Supervisors moved to reaffirm the June 7, 2011 resolution [4] to urge for a formal apology from the U.S. government and economic reparations for African Americans. The reaffirmation of the resolution is being led[ how? ] by Alameda County Supervisors Keith Carson and Miley. Both supervisors signed the original resolution in 2011. [4] Carson said the resolution was an effort to resolve racial divisions, while Miley said it could be used as a springboard to create new policies. [5]
