Purpose


The Department intends to review changes in this rule chapter for the purpose of better enabling the Department to provide for the movement of prescription drugs to areas, facilities and health care providers within the state to allow a more efficient response to natural disaster, communicable disease or other health care emergencies for which the Department has responsibility to protect the public health. The Department intends to review this section, for the possibility of enacting rules that relate to addressing additional situations that constitute exceptions to the definition of the term “wholesale distribution” within the meaning of Chapter 499, part I, Florida Statutes. This also includes enacting “rules established by the department” within the meaning of Section 499.003(53)(b). Florida Statutes.
