MI SB 403: Health occupations: pharmacists; dispensing certain addiction medications without undue delay; require. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 7333c.
Summary
Michigan SB 403 would amend the Public Health Code (MCL 333.1101 through 333.25211) by adding Section 7333c, requiring pharmacists to dispense certain addiction medications without undue delay. The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Insurance and has not yet been enacted. It targets medications used in substance use disorder treatment, placing a new dispensing obligation on licensed pharmacies operating under state law.
What this may mean
If enacted, the new Section 7333c would create an affirmative obligation for Michigan-licensed pharmacists to dispense addiction medications, including likely medications for opioid use disorder such as buprenorphine, without undue delay. Pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers operating in Michigan would face potential state licensure and regulatory consequences for non-compliance. The bill is in early committee review with no effective date established.
