Tennessee SB1256 proposes a program for importing safe and effective prescription drugs from Canada to reduce costs.
Tennessee SB1256 seeks to amend various state codes to allow the importation of prescription drugs from Canada. The Department of Finance and Administration, in collaboration with the Department of Health and the Division of TennCare, must submit a request to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services for approval to import these drugs. The request must demonstrate compliance with federal and state safety standards, federal law for the pharmaceutical supply chain, and include a list of drugs with the highest potential for cost savings.
