Prescription repository program bill passes both chambers

(The Center Square) – Illinoisans’ unused prescription drugs could get a second chance at helping people. House Bill 119 would direct medication that would otherwise go unused into the hands of qualifying residents in need. Lawmakers in both chambers of the legislature passed the bill and it is poised for the governor’s desk. The bill would establish a repository system for people to return their unneeded prescription drugs to pharmacies, which would then re-dispense them to Illinoisans who may be struggling to afford necessary medication. Illinois Pharmacists Association Executive Director Garth Reynolds says this is a program other states have and would meet a real need.
