Regulates Internet pharmacies and electronic prescriptions.

This bill (S 2298) requires internet pharmacies to obtain a New Jersey permit before delivering prescription drugs to New Jersey residents, with exceptions for pharmacies certified by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Permits mandate US headquarters, state licensing proof, pharmacist details, and annual renewal. Pharmacies must provide toll-free pharmacist consultations (48 hours/week), maintain patient records, and ensure prescriptions are transmitted electronically or by facsimile. The law also prohibits pharmacies from waiving New Jersey’s laws, court jurisdiction, or liability protections for prescription services. It applies directly to internet pharmacies serving New Jersey patients and aims to enhance safety and accountability.
