AI Summary
This bill establishes a state-wide drug repository program that allows donors, including individuals, healthcare facilities, and government entities, to donate eligible unused medications to recipients, such as pharmacies and healthcare providers. Recipients can then distribute these donated medications to eligible patients who are indigent, uninsured, or underinsured. The bill outlines specific requirements for the types of medications that can be accepted, the storage and handling of the donated medications, and the dispensing and administration of the medications to eligible patients. The bill also provides legal protections for those involved in the drug repository program and allows entities participating in other states' drug donation programs to also participate in this program.
