SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has until mid-October to act on the compounding bills sent to him at the end of this year's legislative session:--

— SB294, by Sen. Bill Emmerson, R-Redlands, expands the types of sterile compounded drugs for which a license is required and requires inspections of sterile compounding pharmacies by the state Board of Pharmacy. The bill responds to an incident in 2012 in which a Massachusetts-based compounding pharmacy sent contaminated drugs nationwide, resulting in more than 40 deaths and 460 illnesses.
