Overview
This bill would allow for the importation of prescription drugs from certain countries, primarily Canada, into New Jersey. The state’s health department would establish a wholesale drug importation program, working with federal officials, to import medications that meet FDA safety standards and offer cost savings to consumers. The program would require designated entities to become wholesalers, contract with foreign suppliers, and create a system for tracking prices and providing consumer support.
