An Assembly committee unanimously advanced legislation urging for tighter monitoring of human growth hormone (HGH) amid growing evidence that the drug is widely abused.

The bill was termed as a non-intrusive way for protecting “the integrity of medicine” by Health and Senior Services Committee chairman Herb Conaway (D-Burlington) who said the bill will help in cracking down on abuse by both patients and physicians.

The Star-Ledger found a Jersey City physician routinely faking medical diagnoses for adult growth hormone deficiency and supplying the drugs for muscle building purposes to law enforcement officers and firefighters.
