SB 1307 – Pharmacy: Pedigree 

Author - Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles)

CHI Position - Watch

Summary - The bill would, on and after January 1, 2011, define a pedigree and would require a pedigree to also include a specified unique identification number. The legislation would create a phase-in approach to serialize all dangerous drugs delivered to patients based on percentages of a manufacturers product line.  The bill currently has weak federal preemption language that would not uniformly conform to a federal standard when it is implemented.
Status - Passed Senate Floor on 05/29/08.  Passed Assembly Business and Professions Committee on 06/24/08.  Awaiting hearing in Assembly Appropriations Committee.
