Alcoholic Beverages - As enacted, permits a retail licensee, beginning July 1, 2014, to sell at retail items related to or incidental to the use, consumption, dispensing, or storage of alcoholic beverages, including any hemp or hemp-derived cannabinoid product for which all required licenses, permits, or certificates have been obtained authorizing the sale of such product within this state. - Amends TCA Title 57, Chapter 3 and Title 57, Chapter 5.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows retail stores licensed to sell alcohol in Tennessee to also sell hemp and hemp-derived products, provided those items have all necessary state permits. It amends existing laws to explicitly authorize these retailers to offer such goods alongside their current inventory. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that alcohol retailers can deliver products to locations outside their licensed premises and prohibits them from charging extra fees for serving beer on-site.

Pharmacy, Pharmacists - As enacted, authorizes the board of pharmacy to register any mechanical or electronic systems that operate solely on the premises of a hematology or oncology clinic in this state and that perform the storage, control, and dispensing of commercially available drug products pursuant to a valid patient-specific prescription, as part of the operations of a licensed pharmacy; makes related changes. - Amends TCA Title 29; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows licensed pharmacies in Tennessee to register and operate mechanical or electronic systems that store, control, and dispense prescription drugs within hematology or oncology clinics. It specifically enables approved pharmacies to inspect, restock, and re-dispense unopened and unused specialty medications, such as cancer treatments and blood disease drugs, that are returned from healthcare facilities by providers. The law requires pharmacists to verify that returned medications remain in their original, unopened packaging before they can be reused, and it mandates that pharmacies provide credits or reimbursements to the entities that originally paid for these drugs. Additionally, the bill establishes strict record-keeping requirements for these transactions and provides legal protections for manufacturers and pharmacies acting in good faith during the restocking process.
