Indiana senator to sponsor pain clinic bill

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An Indiana lawmaker is jumping into the debate over a pain clinic in Jeffersonville.

Republican State Senator Ron Grooms of Jeffersonville plans to sponsor a bill next session targeting pain clinics.

It would require Indiana's pain clinic owners to be licensed physicians.

Residents on Maple Street in Jeffersonville are concerned about a new doctor's office that may include a pain management clinic.

They fear it could be a source of prescription medications for drug abusers.
