FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION

This proposal would provide that drugs may be delivered on consignment, as defined by the Board of Pharmacy, and the recipient shall not be required to be licensed as a drug distributor and shall not comply with the standards of practice applicable to distributors but shall be open for inspection. Separate licenses are required for each distribution site owned by a drug distributor or pharmacy distributor.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
