An Act establishing a state-wide drug repository program
This bill establishes a state-wide program to collect and redistribute unused, unopened, tamper-evident medicines from authorized donors (like pharmacies, hospitals, and manufacturers) to eligible patients who are indigent, uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in public health programs. Donated medicines must be in unopened packaging (with limited exceptions for certain orally administered cancer medicines), not controlled substances, and meet safety standards like proper storage and labeling. Recipients must verify donor eligibility and maintain minimal records but can store donated medicine separately, repackage it as needed, and administer it to eligible patients with proper documentation. The program aims to reduce medicine waste while expanding access to affordable medications for vulnerable populations.
