Illinois HB4953 amendment filed to restrict delivery of controlled substances to registered places of business/professional practice (linked to 720 ILCS 570/302)

An amendment (HB4953ham001) was filed that would tighten delivery controls for prescription drugs that are controlled substances by specifying that such products furnished by a licensed manufacturer/wholesale distributor may be delivered only to a registered place of business or professional practice as required by Section 302 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act (720 ILCS 570/302). Compliance teams for manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and dispensers should monitor for enactment and be prepared to validate delivery-location registration status and update distribution SOPs and shipping controls accordingly.
