AB 208

This bill restricts how governmental and government-funded entities, particularly those operating mental health facilities or places of confinement, can use certain products. It prohibits using or dispensing patented or federally reviewed products in ways that violate their terms of use, written instructions, or approved scope, unless specific notice and consent procedures are followed. The bill allows for use with notice and consent, but requires cessation if a patent holder objects. It also permits use in a non-conforming manner with resident informed consent. The bill aims to ensure that these entities adhere to product guidelines and manufacturer instructions.
