Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(225 ILCS 120/200) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028) Sec. 200. Drugs in shortage. (a) For the purpose of this Section, "drug in shortage" means a drug, as defined in Section 356c of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, listed on the drug shortage list maintained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in accordance with Section 356e of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. (b) Any person engaged in the wholesale distribution of a drug in shortage in this State must be licensed by the Department. (c) It is unlawful for any person, other than a manufacturer, a manufacturer's exclusive distributor, a third-party logistics provider, or an authorized distributor of record, to purchase or receive a drug in shortage from any person not licensed by the Department. This subsection (c) does not apply to the return of drugs or the purchase or receipt of drugs pursuant to any of the distributions that are specifically excluded from the definition of "wholesale distribution" in Section 15 of the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act. (d) A person found to have violated a provision of this Section shall be subject to administrative fines, orders for restitution, and orders for disgorgement. (e) The Department shall create a centralized, searchable database of those entities licensed to engage in wholesale distribution, including manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and pharmacy distributors, to enable purchasers of a drug in shortage to easily verify the licensing status of an entity offering such drugs. (f) The Department shall establish a system for reporting the reasonable suspicion that a violation of this Act has been committed by a distributor of a drug in shortage. Reports made through this system shall be referred to the Office of the Attorney General and the appropriate State's Attorney's office for further investigation and prosecution. (g) The Department shall adopt rules to carry out the provisions of this Section. (h) Nothing in this Section prohibits one hospital pharmacy from purchasing or receiving a drug in shortage from another hospital pharmacy in the event of a medical emergency.
