Illinois SB3896 amends the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act to redefine "virtual wholesale distributor" and establish licensing requirements.

Illinois SB3896 amends the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act to redefine "virtual wholesale distributor" as an entity engaged in the wholesale distribution of prescription drugs without taking physical possession. The bill mandates that every virtual wholesale distributor must be licensed by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. It also stipulates that a virtual wholesale distributor can only contract with licensed entities to take physical possession of prescription drugs if they are being shipped into the state.
