HB 2785 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Renaming the medication donation program providing for the registration of qualifying centers to accept, administer, supply or dispense certain donated drugs or devices.

HB 2785 renames Kansas' "Utilization of Unused Medications Act" to the "Medication Donation Program" and updates its rules. The bill allows pharmacies, manufacturers, and patients to donate unused drugs to qualifying centers (like indigent clinics, community mental health centers, and pharmacies), which then distribute them to medically indigent Kansas residents who are uninsured or underinsured. Key changes include updated eligibility criteria for donations, new annual reporting requirements for centers (detailing drugs received, patients served, and handling fees), and clarifications that federal Medicaid-funded drugs cannot be part of the program. The program aims to safely redirect unused medications to low-income residents while ensuring centers follow safety standards.
