Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Pharmacy Practice Act. Defines "large pharmacy chain" and "retail pharmacy". Provides that a large pharmacy chain operating in the State shall ensure that each of the large pharmacy chain's retail pharmacy locations maintains, at minimum, an inventory that is sufficient to cover the needs of existing patients for up to 14 days without needing to restock. Requires each retail pharmacy location to implement a predictive restocking practice to prevent or mitigate future inventory shortages. Provides that, if a patient attempts to fill a prescription that a retail pharmacy location does not have in stock, the retail pharmacy location shall provide timely mail-order fulfillment, up to and including overnight shipping, if necessary to provide a medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in time to ensure no missed doses.
