March 1, 2021 - Introduced by Representative Kerkman, cosponsored by Senator
Wanggaard. Referred to Committee on Regulatory Licensing Reform.

AB120,1,5 1An Act to amend 440.15, 450.01 (11m), 450.01 (21s) and 450.02 (1); and to
2create 440.08 (2) (a) 69g., 450.01 (13w), 450.01 (23) (p) and 450.075 of the
3statutes; relating to: third-party logistics providers, extending the time limit
4for emergency rule procedures, providing an exemption from emergency rule
5procedures, and granting rule-making authority.

This bill creates an optional license for third-party logistics providers that are
located in the state or are located outside the state but provide third-party logistics
provider services in the state. A third-party logistics provider is defined under
current law as a person that contracts with a prescription drug manufacturer to
provide or coordinate warehousing, distribution, or other services on behalf of the
manufacturer but that does not take title to the manufacturer's prescription drug or
have general responsibility to direct the prescription drug's sale or disposition.

The bill requires an applicant for a third-party logistics provider license to
submit certain information prior to licensure, including proof of a recent facility
inspection, and a personal statement relating to a designated representative of the
facility. The license created by this bill will no longer apply if the federal Food and
Drug Administration establishes a licensing program for third-party logistics
providers under federal law and the Pharmacy Examining Board determines that
state licensure is not required for a resident third-party logistics provider to provide
third-party logistics services in another state.
