"The California Board of Pharmacy issued guidance this week outlining the process for obtaining the licensing as third-party logistics providers or non-resident third-party logistics providers in the state. This requirement extends to all 3PLs that ship pharmaceuticals to or from California.

Prior to the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), 3PLs were required to obtain licensing as a wholesaler—now 3PLs and wholesalers are separate entities under California law." . . .

InBrief: HDMA Updates DSCSA Q&A - RxTrace

Read Dirk Rodgers' full update: InBrief: HDMA Updates DSCSA Q&A - RxTrace:

"This is a very well thought through document that will help companies understand how wholesale distributors are interpreting confusing or ambiguous sections of the law.  The document leans heavily toward questions about how wholesale distributors will need to react in various situations, but it will also be a resource that manufacturers, repackagers and dispensers will want to obtain and review."

New Licenses Required For Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PLs)

• Board-approved California Designated Representative online training programs for wholesale, 3PL, reverse distribution Des Rep license applicants

Read the full article, "New Licenses Required For Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PLs)," recently published in the Winter 2015 edition of The Script - by the California State Board of Pharmacy (PDF):

"Companies that do not own, but receive, store, select and ship prescription drugs and prescription devices into or within California need to obtain a third-party logistics provider (3PL) license immediately with the California State Board of Pharmacy.

Federal legislation enacted in November 2013 directed that 3PLs must be regulated as a separate class and not as a drug wholesaler."

AB 2605 (a new law):

• "Creates a new licensure class of 3PLs and nonresident 3PLs for those businesses that do not own, but receive, store and ship prescription drugs and prescription devices;
• Creates a new licensure class of “designated representative-3PL” for individuals who work in the 3PLs and possess the knowledge and experience necessary to be responsible for the quality of stored and shipped prescription items on a 3PL premises; and
• Creates a new qualifying category of licensure for a responsible manager called “designated representative-3PL,” who acts as the facility manager and representative in charge of the 3PL."
