Board of Pharmacy; provides for the purpose of the Program; authorizes the Program
to accept, for the purpose of dispensing only, prescription drugs and medical supplies
under specified conditions; provides that any person may donate prescription drugs or
medical supplies to the Program at designated drop-off sites; and requires a
designated drop-off site to meet specified requirements.
Senate Bill 1059, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1689.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
