Section 150200 Of Division 116. Surplus Medication Collection And Distribution From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 116.
150200
. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
division to authorize the establishment of a voluntary drug
repository and distribution program for the purpose of distributing
surplus medications to persons in need of financial assistance to
ensure access to necessary pharmaceutical therapies. It is also the
intent of the Legislature that the health and safety of Californians
are protected and promoted through this program, while reducing
unnecessary waste at licensed health and care facilities, by allowing
those facilities to donate unused and unexpired medications that
were never in the hands of a patient or resident and for which no
credit or refund to the patient or resident could be received.
