Multnomah County and the city of Portland outlined their plans Wednesday to address drug possession after a new criminal charge goes into effect statewide in September .
The new law aims to connect drug users with treatment and keep them out of the criminal justice system through a provision known as deflection.
Lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year to roll back parts of the state’s pioneering drug decriminalization law.
