Bill > LB10

This bill modifies existing regulations for wholesale drug distributors and the prescription drug donation program in Nebraska. The bill amends Section 71-7455 to exempt wholesale drug distributors participating in the Prescription Drug Donation Program from maintaining a paper or electronic pedigree (a document tracking a drug's movement through the supply chain). Additionally, the bill grants the state department new emergency powers to directly receive and dispense prescription drugs and supplies during a state of emergency declared by the Governor. This includes the ability to distribute prescription drugs and supplies to individuals impacted by the emergency. The bill also maintains existing requirements for wholesale drug distributors to keep accurate records of prescription drug transactions and verify transaction details before redistributing drugs. The changes aim to provide more flexibility in drug distribution during emergency situations while maintaining oversight of the prescription drug supply chain. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
