A.G. File No. 2011-045

Fee on Prescription Narcotics to Support Consumer Safety

November 04, 2011

 


This measure changes state law to (1) require medical professionals that distribute prescription drugs to report patient prescription history, and (2) require manufacturers or importers of prescription drugs to pay a one-quarter cent ($0.0025) tax on each pill prescribed in the state. Revenues raised by this measure will be used to fund the CURES program.
