Introduced Text

Illinois HB3623 mandates the Department of Public Health to annually report on pharmacy deserts and related health issues.

Illinois HB3623 amends the Department of Public Health Powers and Duties Law to define "pharmacy desert" as areas lacking prescription medication retail sales due to a lack of pharmacies. The Department of Public Health must submit an annual report to the General Assembly by December 31, identifying these pharmacy deserts and providing information on associated health issues. If the report includes federal data on pharmacy deserts and related health issues, it satisfies the requirement. The Act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
