Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor of prescription
drugs may not deliver prescription drugs to a person who is not a wholesale
distributor licensed by the Pharmacy Examining Board (board), a pharmacy licensed
by the board, or a person licensed by the appropriate licensing authority of another
state. Also under current law, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor of
prescription drugs may not deliver prescription drugs to a person who is not known
to the manufacturer or wholesale distributor unless the manufacturer or wholesale
distributor verifies with the board or with the appropriate licensing authority in
another state that the person is licensed to receive prescription drugs.
This bill authorizes a manufacturer or wholesale distributor of prescription
drugs to deliver prescription drugs to a faculty member of a public or private
institution of higher education in Wisconsin, including a faculty member who is not
known to the manufacturer or wholesale distributor, if that faculty member is
obtaining the prescription drugs for the purpose of lawful research, teaching, or
testing and not for resale.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
