The 2003 Legislature passed Senate Bill 2312, The Prescription Drug Protection Act amending Chapter 499, Florida Statutes. The Bill provided for a phase-in of enhanced regulation of the wholesaling of prescription drugs intended to further safeguard and protect the prescription drug supply in Florida. Effective July 1, 2006, a pedigree that traces all previous distributions of all prescription drugs back to the manufacturer must be provided by each wholesale distributor to its customers. This workshop is the second conducted by the department and is intended to continue gathering information and input from affected persons and the public to craft additional rules that will facilitate industry's compliance with the pedigree requirements that go into effect on July 1, 2006.
