What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
