State Representative Laura Faver Dias has introduced HB2346, a bill aimed at enhancing the Illinois Drug Reuse Opportunity Program (IDROP), which helps provide unused medications to those in need.
The proposed legislation would improve the program by requiring the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to:
✅ Maintain and publish a list of participating pharmacies to increase accessibility.
✅ Educate pharmacies across Illinois on how they can voluntarily participate.
✅ Develop educational materials to inform the public about the program’s benefits.
✅ Release an annual report to the General Assembly, starting in 2026, to ensure transparency and track the program’s impact.

This bill builds upon the foundation of IDROP, making it easier for pharmacies to participate and for Illinois residents to access safe, donated medications. By increasing awareness and improving oversight, HB2346 ensures that more people can benefit from this cost-saving and life-saving initiative.
