Relating to wholesale importation of prescription drugs

West Virginia's HB 2827 establishes a state-run program to import prescription drugs directly from Canada, aiming to provide cost savings for residents. The bill requires the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) to design the program to meet federal safety standards (FDA-approved drugs), ensure significant consumer cost savings, and obtain U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approval under 21 U.S.C. § 384. Key provisions include partnering with Canadian drug suppliers, prohibiting sales outside West Virginia, and creating a public website to list drug prices. The DHHR must report annually to the Legislative Oversight Commission on program participation, drug types, prescriptions dispensed, and estimated savings starting in 2026.
