Bill Summary
Amends the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act. In provisions concerning restrictions on transactions, provides that prescription drugs furnished by a manufacturer or wholesale distributor licensed under the Act may be delivered only to the business address of a licensee registered with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, to the premises listed on a license, or, if the Department has received notice that the licensee has authorized a health care entity to receive the prescription drugs, to the address of a health care entity (instead of only to the premises listed on the license). Provides that "health care entity" means an entity where medical, dental, or veterinary services are provided by a licensed practitioner and where the licensed practitioner is responsible for the receipt, storage, and use of drugs.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act to expand where prescription drugs can be delivered. Previously, drugs furnished by a licensed manufacturer or wholesale distributor could only be delivered to the specific premises listed on their license. Now, these drugs can also be delivered to the business address of a licensee or, if the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has been notified that a licensee has authorized it, to a "health care entity." A health care entity is defined as a place where licensed medical, dental, or veterinary professionals provide services and are responsible for receiving, storing, and using the drugs.
