Summary

Existing law authorizes a county to establish, by ordinance, a repository and distribution program under which specified pharmacies and primary care clinics may distribute surplus unused medications, as defined, to persons in need of financial assistance to ensure access to necessary pharmaceutical therapies. Existing law authorizes specified health and care facilities, pharmacies, drug manufacturers, and pharmacy wholesalers to donate unused medications to the program. Existing law requires a county that has established a program to establish procedures to, among other things, ensure proper safety and management of any medications collected and maintained by a participating entity. Existing law exempts specified persons and entities, including prescription drug manufacturers and pharmacists and physicians who accept or dispense prescription drugs, from criminal and civil liability for injury caused when donating, accepting, or dispensing prescription drugs in compliance with these provisions. Existing law, the Pharmacy Law, governs the scope and practice of pharmacy, including dispensing dangerous drugs and devices. Existing law establishes in the Department of Consumer Affairs the California State Board of Pharmacy to exercise licensing, regulatory, and disciplinary functions with respect to the practice of pharmacy. Existing law provides that fees collected on behalf of the board are credited to the Pharmacy Board Contingent Fund, a continuously appropriated fund. A violation of the Pharmacy Law is a crime. This bill would require the California State Board of Pharmacy to license a surplus medication collection and distribution intermediary, as defined, established for the purpose of facilitating the donation of medications to or transfer of medications between participating entities under the unused medication repository and distribution program described above. Among other things, the bill would prohibit that intermediary from taking possession, custody, or control of dangerous drugs and devices, but would authorize the intermediary to charge specified fees for the reasonable costs of the support and services provided. The bill would also require a surplus medication collection and distribution intermediary to keep and maintain for 3 years complete records for which the intermediary facilitated the donation of medications to or transfer of medications between participating entities. The bill would require that a surplus medication collection and distribution intermediary license be renewed annually, and would require the payment of a fee in the amount of $300 to obtain or renew the license. The bill would provide that the fees collected would be deposited in the Pharmacy Board Contingent Fund. By providing a new source of funds for a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation. Because a violation of the provisions governing licensing and recordkeeping would be crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would exempt a surplus medication collection and distribution intermediary from criminal or civil liability for injury caused when facilitating the donation of medications to or transfer of medications in compliance with these provisions. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
