The proposed bill would amend current statutes by allowing specific entities, including authorized recipients, 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 can access donated medicine. This addition aims to enhance transparency and accessibility regarding medicine donation processes.
Additionally, the bill makes technical corrections to existing language, such as correcting the term "posses" to "possess" in the context of biologic donations. It also clarifies that authorized recipients must meet specific requirements based on inspections by health care professionals. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the process of donating and receiving medicine while ensuring that relevant information is readily available to the public.
