California legislators have passed only a handful of Workers' Compensation laws since passing a major overhaul in the sector in 2012, says the California Workers' Compensation Institute (CWCI).
Five of the 17 Work Comp laws of 2013 deal with pharmacies and controlled-substance distribution issues.
Two pharmacy bills eliminate the requirement for prescription copies to be sent along with requests for payment (SB 146), and require special state licenses for in-and-out-of state pharmacies that compound sterile drug products for sale or shipping to California while removing the option for accreditation from outside agencies (SB 294).
