Bill for Redistribution of Prescription Drugs to be Introduced to Michigan Legislature
A bill that would allow collection and redistribution of prescription medications will be introduced to the Michigan Legislature in the next session, as reported by the Associated Press. The bill “would allow medical facilities to donate unused drugs for distribution to needy patients,” and would “require that drugs donated to pharmacies participating in the redistribution program have never left medical facilities or oversight to ensure safety.” The legislation includes a requirement that pharmacies participating in the program would also offer disposal programs so that unneeded medications can be safely removed from homes. Michigan representatives Jim Ananich (D) and Joel Johnson (R) are sponsoring the bill.
