Official summary
Official text — shown in English exactly as published by the official source. The official text controls.
The act provides that, if the action is undertaken in accordance with applicable federal and state law: A licensed person may compound a drug or device in the state; A state-licensed pharmacy or a distribution facility registered with the federal food and drug administration (licensed 503B outsourcing facility) may supply a compounded drug or device to a licensed health-care provider, pharmacy, facility, or organization; and A licensed health-care provider, pharmacy, facility, or organization may obtain, dispense, or administer a compounded drug or device supplied by a state-licensed pharmacy or a licensed 503B outsourcing facility. In addition, the act prohibits the state board of pharmacy from adopting rules that are more restrictive than federal or state law regarding the compounding of drugs or devices by licensed 503B outsourcing facilities. Current law exempts drugs that are intended solely for investigational use by experts qualified by scientific training and experience and that are plainly labeled for investigational use only from the sales and delivery prohibition for new drugs. The act also exempts from the prohibition: Drugs that are reviewed by an institutional review board and plainly labeled for investigational use only; and Compounded drugs and devices if the compounding of the drug or device is undertaken in accordance with applicable federal and state law. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

What it covers: the record exactly as the official source publishes it — its identifiers (bill number, session, jurisdiction), its official title and long title, its official summary, its status, its sponsors in published order, every recorded action, every recorded vote, and the link to each official text version — assembled in a fixed canonical form described on the How this data works page.
The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.
If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
