Introduced by: M. Keith Hodges | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Wholesale distributors; notice to Board of Pharmacy when ceasing distribution to a dispenser due to suspicious ordering. Requires a wholesale distributor or nonresident wholesale distributor that ceases distribution of Schedule II through V drugs to a pharmacy, licensed physician dispenser, or licensed physician dispensing facility located in the Commonwealth due to suspicious orders of controlled substances to notify the Board of Pharmacy within five days of the cessation. The bill defines "suspicious orders of controlled substances," provides that a wholesale distributor or nonresident wholesale distributor shall be immune from civil liability for notifying the Board of Pharmacy unless such notice was given in bad faith or with malicious intent, and prohibits the Board of Pharmacy from imposing any disciplinary or enforcement action against a licensee or permit holder solely on the basis of such notice received from a wholesale distributor or nonresident wholesale distributor.
