SF 1785 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Medication repository program procedures modifications provision and appropriation

This bill modifies Minnesota's medication repository program rules for donating and distributing unused medications. It requires donated drugs to have at least six months until expiration (with limited exceptions for high-demand items), must be in original sealed packaging, and cannot be controlled substances. Repositories must verify donor information, maintain detailed inventories, and prioritize donated drugs over purchased ones when filling prescriptions. The changes directly affect pharmacies, hospitals, and other donors participating in the program, while ensuring patients receive safe, eligible medications through the repository system.
