SUMMARY

This bill authorizes the Maine Board of Pharmacy to register Canadian pharmacies to provide prescription drugs by mail order to residents of the State and directs that Canadian pharmacies that have been registered be included on a website established and maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services. The website must provide information to consumers concerning the Canadian pharmacies approved by the board and the web links for those pharmacies. In addition, this bill limits the drugs that a pharmacy located outside Maine that provides mail order service to residents of Maine may sell, distribute or furnish.
