Title: Prescription Drug Diversion from Common Carriers
Action: Passed
 

Whereas, there is a threat to the public health due to the diversion of prescription drugs from common carriers during interstate and intrastate distribution and delivery to wholesale drug distributors, pharmacies, patients, or patients’ agents; and

Whereas, the regulations regarding the distribution and delivery of prescription drugs vary by state and often do not include accountability provisions for common carriers that distribute and deliver prescription drugs;
