If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by allowing authorized recipients of donated medicine, the Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS), the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), and health profession regulatory boards to post information on their public websites. This information would include details on where and how to donate medicine, who qualifies as an eligible patient, and how an eligible patient may access donated medicine. The bill introduces new language to facilitate this posting, specifically designating these entities as responsible for disseminating this information.

Additionally, the bill makes minor technical corrections, such as changing the word "posses" to "possess" in the context of authorized recipients accepting donated biologics. It also clarifies that the requirements for accepting donated biologics are based on inspections by health care professionals. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the transparency and accessibility of donated medicine while ensuring that the relevant entities are clearly defined and authorized to provide this information.
