The program allows for the donation of unused, unexpired cancer drugs and supplies to be dispensed to eligible residents of the state. It sets standards for the storage, inspection, and distribution of these donated drugs, and provides immunity from liability to participating pharmacies, medical facilities, and donors, as long as they follow the program's requirements.
