Bill > H1407

This bill creates a new section of Florida law specifically addressing compounding pharmacies, which are specialized pharmacies that can create customized medications. The bill defines key terms such as "chronically ill patients" (those with long-term diseases that could cause serious harm if untreated) and "terminally ill patients" (those with a disease expected to cause death in the near future). It authorizes these patient groups to work with their healthcare providers to determine individualized treatment courses using medications from compounding pharmacies. The bill also permits compounding pharmacies licensed in Florida to access active pharmaceutical ingredients from FDA-registered manufacturers, even if those ingredients lack standard monographs (quality standards), provided they meet certain shipping and quality certification requirements. The bill includes a safeguard preventing the use of ingredients withdrawn from the market for safety reasons and explicitly states that the law cannot be used to facilitate patient euthanasia. The provisions of this bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving pharmacies and healthcare providers time to prepare for the new regulations.
