What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law regulates the wholesale distribution of prescription drugs, which

is defined as the distribution of a prescription drug to a person other than a consumer

or patient. The definition is subject to a number of exceptions, including an exception

for the donation or distribution of a prescription drug under current provisions

creating a cancer and chronic diseases drug repository.

This bill adds an exception to the definition of wholesale distribution for

donations of drug samples to charitable institutions, if the donations comply with

federal regulations governing such donations.
