Directs the New York Department of Health to create a prescription drug inventory database.
The bill mandates the New York Department of Health to establish an online searchable database. This database will list all drugs currently in shortage, as designated by the federal Food and Drug Administration's drug shortages database, and pharmacies in the state where these drugs are in stock. The database will be accessible only to licensed physicians and pharmacists, with updates authorized only for licensed pharmacists. Pharmacies must update their inventory levels at least weekly.
