As the Maine Legislature moves toward adjournment two key pieces of legislation have been signed into law. First, Governor Janet Mills (D) signed into law Legislative Document (LD) 603 — critical legislation that will help enhance patients’ access to convenient and affordable pharmacy-based care by recognizing pharmacists as providers of healthcare services in the state of Maine. The Governor also signed into law Legislative Document (LD) 8, the prescription drug disposal proposal that would expand the collection of unwanted prescription drugs for proper disposal and will be fully funded by the drug manufacturers.
