When dispensing a drug to an eligible patient, the recipient must do so at no cost to the eligible patient, except that a uniform reasonable handling fee may be charged. The handling fee may not exceed the direct or indirect cost to the recipient of providing the drug. Charging the fee does not constitute reselling.

(1) if the recipient is otherwise permitted by law to dispense or administer the drug;

(2) that meets the requirements in Section 25;

(3) that is repackaged into a new container or is in its original container with all previous patient information redacted or removed;

(4) that is properly labeled in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Board of Pharmacy;

(b) Recipients shall, to the greatest extent practicable, dispense drugs received under this Act to priority patients.

(1) The drug is in unopened tamper-evident packaging or has been repackaged according to Section 30.

(2) The drug is not expired.

(3) The drug is not a controlled substance.

(4) The recipient maintains a written or electronic record of a donation made under this Act consisting of the name, strength, and quantity of each accepted drug and the name, address, and telephone number of the donor, unless a recipient is further donating to a recipient under common ownership or common control.

(6) The drug has a method recognized by the United States Pharmacopeia to detect improper temperature variations if the drug requires temperature control other than room temperature storage.

Section 30. Donating and repackaging. Notwithstanding any other law or rule, a recipient may:

(2) repackage donated drugs as necessary for storage, dispensing, administration, or transfers in accordance with the following:

(3) replenish a drug of the same drug name and strength previously dispensed or administered to an eligible patient in accordance with Section 340B of the federal Public Health Service Act.

Section 35. Disposition of drugs. A donated drug that does not meet the requirements of Section 25 must be disposed of by returning it to the donor, destroying it by an incinerator, medical waste hauler, or other lawful method, or transferring it to a returns processor. A record of disposal shall consist of the disposal method, the date of disposal, and the name and quantity of the drug disposed of. Notwithstanding any other law or rule, no other record of disposal shall be required.

Section 40. Participation not required. Nothing in this Act requires that a pharmacy or pharmacist be a recipient of drugs under this Act.

Section 45. Recordkeeping requirements. When performing any action associated with a program under this Act or otherwise processing a donated drug for tax, manufacturer, or other credit, a recipient shall be considered to be acting as a returns processor and shall comply with all recordkeeping requirements for nonsaleable returns under federal law.

Section 50. Change of ownership. A donation or other transfer of possession or control of a drug under this Act shall not be construed as a change of ownership unless it is specified as such by the recipient. If a record of the donation's transaction information or history is required, the history shall begin with the donor of the drug, include all prior donations, and, if the drug was previously dispensed, only include drug information required to be on the patient label in accordance with the Board of Pharmacy's rules and regulations.

Section 55. Retention of records. All records required under this Act shall be retained in physical or electronic format and on or off the recipient's premises for a period of 6 years. Donors or recipients may contract with one another or a third party to create or maintain records on each other's behalf. An identifier, such as a serial number or bar code, may be used in place of any or all information required by a record or label pursuant to this Act if it allows for such information to be readily retrievable. Upon request by a State or federal regulatory agency, the identifier used for requested records shall be replaced with the original information. An identifier shall not be used on patient labels when dispensing or administering a drug.

Section 60. Authority. This Act supersedes any inconsistent law or rule for activities conducted under this Act.

Section 65. Immunity.

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), no manufacturer, donor, or recipient shall be liable in any criminal or civil action, or be subject to professional discipline, for activities solely and directly attributable to donating, receiving, or dispensing drugs under this Act.

(b) The immunity provided in subsection (a) shall not apply:

(1) if it is shown that the act or omission was an unreasonable, willful, wanton, or reckless act;

(2) if it is shown that the person or entity knew or should have known that the donated drug was adulterated or misbranded; or

(3) to acts or omissions outside the scope of a program under this Act.
