HB 2084 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of December 14, 1992 (P.L.1116, No.145), known as the Wholesale Prescription Drug Distributors License Act, further providing for definitions, for license application and for storage, handling and recordkeeping.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's laws governing wholesale prescription drug distributors by clarifying definitions and adjusting licensing requirements. It introduces a new category for "virtual manufacturers," which are companies that approve and label drugs but do not physically store them within the state. To obtain a license, applicants must now provide proof of business registration and post a surety bond of at least $25,000, though this amount can be raised to $100,000 for larger operations. The law also exempts virtual manufacturers from physical storage rules at their main offices but requires them to ensure that any third-party facilities storing their products meet all safety and recordkeeping standards.
