NY S05903

Establishes a program allowing donors (manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, pharmacies, and hospitals) to donate unused prescription drugs to recipients through direct transfer or third-party intermediaries.

Requires prescription drugs to be in tamper-evident packaging or unit/multiple-dose packaging and inspected by a pharmacist or licensed health care provider before redispensing.

Prohibits redispensing of drugs that are adulterated, misbranded, tamper-evident packaging compromised, expired before patient use, or restricted under FDA requirements like REMS programs.

Mandates recipient entities prioritize redispensing to indigent, uninsured, or under-insured patients and prohibits resale of redispensed drugs (though reasonable processing fees permitted).

Provides liability protection for persons and entities acting in reasonable good faith compliance with the program and requires the Department of Health to maintain and publish a list of approved recipient entities and intermediaries.
