Status: Inactive / Dead
Year Introduced: 2018

PRESCRIPTION DRUG REVIEW COMMISSION: The commission shall develop a list of critical prescription drugs made available in New Jersey for which there is a substantial public interest in understanding the development of pricing for the drugs. For each prescription drug that the commission places on the critical prescription drug list, the commission shall require the manufacturer to report the total cost of production, approximate cost of production per dose, and research and development costs of the drug. If the commission determines that the cost of a prescription drug is excessively high, the commission may set the maximum allowable price that the manufacturer can charge for that prescription drug when sold for use in New Jersey. The maximum price set by the commission shall be commensurate with the price of the drug in other states and countries, with full consideration of the overall cost of researching, developing, and producing the drug in light of the number of years the drug has been made available for distribution.
