HB3414 Summary: Prescription Drug Repository Pilot Program Act

• Creates a prescription drug repository pilot program administered by the Department of Public Health, with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District handling collection and distribution of donated prescription drugs to eligible individuals.

• Establishes strict requirements for drugs to be accepted: original sealed packaging, expiration date at least 6 months away, pharmacist inspection, practitioner prescription, and exclusion of controlled substances.

• Prohibits resale of donated drugs and makes participation voluntary for pharmacies and pharmacists, allowing them to charge a handling fee for dispensed drugs.

• Provides civil and criminal immunity for manufacturers, pharmacists, and other health professionals acting in good faith under the program.

• Requires two reports to the General Assembly by December 31, 2024, when the pilot program terminates; amends multiple pharmacy and drug-related acts to exempt program participants from conflicting regulatory provisions; effective immediately.
