Sen. Ridley-Thomas Touts E-Pedigree Legislation
In an opinion piece, Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Leimert Park) touted legislation (SB 1307) he introduced to "clarify issues not addressed in previous" electronic pedigree legislation aimed at preventing "counterfeit, misbranded, adulterated or diverted drugs." He concludes, "It is time for the pharmaceutical industry to embrace 21st century technology and innovation to protect themselves, but most importantly, the public who rely on their products to treat illness and manage threatening diseases."
