CA SB983

Establishes the Cancer Medication Recycling Act to allow collection and redistribution of unused cancer medications through registered practitioners certified in medical oncology or hematology.

Requires participating practitioners to register with the Medical Board of California and pay a fee not to exceed $300 for registration or renewal.

Exempts practitioners, donors, and other entities acting in good faith from criminal or civil liability when donating, accepting, or dispensing medications in compliance with the program, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Prohibits redistribution of controlled substances, opioids, compounded medications, injectable medications, drugs with FDA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy requirements, and growth factor medications.

Requires practitioners to maintain donor and recipient forms, verify medication expiration dates do not exceed six months, inspect for adulteration or misbranding, and store medications separately according to manufacturer specifications.
