Bill > SF4584

This bill modifies the requirements for Minnesota's medication repository program. Key provisions include: - Expanding the definition of "donor" to include any entity legally authorized to possess medicine, not just health care facilities. - Allowing individual donors at least 18 years old to donate drugs and supplies if obtained legally. - Removing the requirement for local repositories to provide identification cards to eligible individuals and instead requiring an electronic or physical intake application form. - Clarifying the requirements for accepting donated drugs and supplies, including allowing the central or local repository to receive donations directly rather than requiring a donation form. - Allowing the Board of Pharmacy to waive the requirement for repositories to maintain a detailed inventory if the entity is under common ownership or control with a central or local repository. - Specifying that no other record of destruction is required beyond the record of destruction form. - Prohibiting handling or supply fees from being charged to individuals enrolled in the state's medical assistance or MinnesotaCare programs. The overall aim of the bill is to modify and streamline the medication repository program to facilitate the donation and distribution of unused prescription drugs and medical supplies to eligible individuals.
