AI Summary
This bill aims to restore integrity in the marketing of pharmaceutical products and medical devices. It does this by prohibiting pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturer agents from offering or giving gifts of any value to healthcare practitioners, their families, employees, or affiliated facilities. The bill also requires pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing companies to publicly disclose any payments, subsidies, or other economic benefits they provide to healthcare practitioners, facilities, and other authorized entities. Additionally, the bill mandates the licensing and training of pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturer agents, with fees from the licensing process to be used for administering and enforcing the law. The Department of Public Health, in consultation with relevant medical boards, will be responsible for promulgating regulations and overseeing compliance, with the Attorney General's office also having enforcement authority.
