What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor of prescription drugs may not deliver prescription drugs to a person who is not a wholesale distributor licensed by the Pharmacy Examining Board (board), a pharmacy licensed by the board, or a person licensed by the appropriate licensing authority of another state. Also under current law, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor of prescription drugs may not deliver prescription drugs to a person who is not known to the manufacturer or wholesale distributor unless the manufacturer or wholesale distributor verifies with the board or with the appropriate licensing authority in another state that the person is licensed to receive prescription drugs.

This bill authorizes a manufacturer or wholesale distributor of prescription drugs to deliver prescription drugs to a faculty member of a public or private institution of higher education in Wisconsin, including a faculty member who is not known to the manufacturer or wholesale distributor, if that faculty member is obtaining the prescription drugs for the purpose of lawful research, teaching, or testing and not for resale.
