DRUG DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS
Last Action
Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act. In provisions concerning restrictions on transactions, provides that prescription drugs furnished by a manufacturer or wholesale distributor licensed under the Act may be delivered only to the business address of a licensee registered with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, to the premises listed on a license, or, if the Department has received notice that the licensee has authorized a health care entity to receive the prescription drugs, to the address of a health care entity (instead of only to the premises listed on the license). Provides that "health care entity" means an entity where medical, dental, or veterinary services are provided by a licensed practitioner and where the licensed practitioner is responsible for the receipt, storage, and use of drugs.
House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that prescription drugs that are controlled substances furnished by a manufacturer or wholesale distributor licensed under the Act may be delivered only to a registered place of business or professional practice, as required by the Illinois Controlled Substances Act.
