If this bill were to become law, it 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.
Additionally, the bill would make technical corrections to existing language, such as correcting the term "posses" to "possess" in the context of authorized recipients accepting donated biologics. The bill also clarifies that the requirements for accepting donated biologics must be based on an inspection by a health care professional, ensuring compliance with health standards. Overall, the updates aim to enhance the transparency and accessibility of donated medicine programs in Arizona.
