SUMMARY

 
This bill requires the annual registration of pharmaceutical
detailers with the Maine Board of Pharmacy beginning October 1,
2005. A pharmaceutical detailer is a person who acts in an
educational role on behalf of a pharmaceutical manufacturer or
labeler regarding its drugs, supplies and other products, but a
pharmaceutical detailer is not registered as a lobbyist for a
pharmaceutical manufacturer or labeler. The bill imposes a
registration fee not to exceed $50. The bill also authorizes the
board to adopt rules regarding the registration of pharmaceutical
detailers.
