OH HB642

Classifies nonprescription diabetes test devices (glucose meters and test strips) as adulterated if not purchased directly from the manufacturer or an authorized distributor.

Requires manufacturers to publish authorized distributor names on their websites and report to the State Board of Pharmacy within 30 days; the board must publish this list within 30 days of receiving it.

Requires pharmacists dispensing nonprescription diabetes test devices to maintain complete records of acquisition and sale for at least three years, with records available for law enforcement inspection.

Makes it unprofessional conduct for pharmacists to submit insurance claims for adulterated diabetes devices or fail to maintain required acquisition and sale records.

Declares the act an emergency measure to prevent purchase of potentially tampered with or improperly stored devices that could jeopardize patient health.
