Bill > HF4605

This bill modifies the requirements for the medication repository program in Minnesota. Key provisions include: - Expanding the definition of "donor" to include more types of entities that can legally possess and donate medications, such as health care facilities, assisted living facilities, pharmacies, and drug manufacturers. - Removing the requirement for individual program participants to obtain an identification card and simplifying the eligibility and application process. - Allowing repositories to receive donated drugs directly from donors without requiring a separate donor form, and clarifying the inspection and inventory requirements. - Specifying that repositories may charge a handling fee of up to 250% of the Medicaid dispensing fee, but cannot charge a fee to individuals enrolled in Medicaid or MinnesotaCare. - Providing liability protections for manufacturers, health care facilities, pharmacists, practitioners, and others involved in the program, as long as they follow the program requirements. - Allowing participants to use electronic or physical forms that are substantively similar to the required forms.
