Existing law restricts the purchase, trade, sale, or transfer of dangerous drugs or dangerous devices, as defined, to licensed wholesalers and other authorized persons. Under the Pharmacy Law, the board licenses and regulates entities, including third-party logistics providers, as wholesalers. The Pharmacy Law defines a \"third-party logistics provider\" or a \"reverse third-party logistics provider\" as an entity licensed as a wholesaler that contracts with a dangerous drug manufacturer to provide or coordinate warehousing, distribution, or other similar services on behalf of a manufacturer, but for which there is no change of ownership in the dangerous drugs. Existing law requires a wholesaler to have a pharmacist or designated representative on its premises and to be supervised or managed by a designated representative-in-charge. Existing law requires a separate license for each place of business owned or operated by a wholesaler. Existing law also requires a wholesaler to submit a surety bond of $100,000 payable to a specified fund of the board to secure payment of any administrative fine imposed by the board. Existing law, the federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act, prohibits a third-party logistics provider, as defined, from conducting any activities in a state unless each facility of the provider is licensed by the state from which drugs are distributed by the provider in accordance with regulations to be promulgated by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services."
