On November 27, 2013, President Obama signed into law the Drug Quality and Security Act (H.R. 3204). Title II of the Act, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, establishes a national system for tracing pharmaceutical products through the supply chain and sets national licensing standards for wholesale distributors and third-party logistics providers. This Act will change the way prescription drugs are distributed in the United States over the next 10 years. This session will discuss these changes and their impact on stakeholders.
