Bill Summary
This bill establishes the "Opioid Prevention and Rehabilitation Program Fund," which would support programs that provide treatment for individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in the Medicaid program. The fund would be supported by a tax on the first wholesale distribution of an opioid drug in this State at the rate of one cent per milligram of active opioid ingredient. As used in the bill, "distribution," "drug," and "wholesale distributor" have the same definitions as the current law providing for the licensure of pharmaceutical wholesale distributors.
