Ab128 Form PDF Details

In the landscape of pharmaceutical and medical device regulation, AB128 emerges as a pivotal document to ensure that manufacturers and wholesalers adhere to a stringent code of conduct, especially in the state of Nevada. Established under Nevada Chapter 409 and effective as of October 1, 2007, this certification underscores the annual audit's completion and the continual monitoring of compliance with the established code of conduct for entities dealing in drugs, medicines, chemicals, devices, or appliances. The thorough nature of this form serves as a testament to Nevada's commitment to uphold ethical marketing practices within the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. It mandates a comprehensive submission process by June 1st each year, detailing adherence to marketing standards and practices that prioritize patient benefit and the integrity of healthcare professional judgments. This requirement extends to the adoption of either PhRMA or AdvaMed Codes of Conduct, with allowances for companies to implement these codes with or without modifications, provided that any changes are clearly documented and submitted annually. Moreover, AB128 emphasizes the importance of training programs for sales and marketing personnel, investigation policies for non-compliance instances, and the role of a designated compliance officer, establishing a proactive approach towards maintaining high ethical standards in marketing and sales practices within the healthcare sector.

AB128 CERTIFICATION OF COMPLETION OF ANNUAL AUDIT MONITORING COMPLIANCE

WITH CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS OF DRUGS,

MEDICINES, CHEMICALS, DEVICES, OR APPLIANCES

This form is to be used for a company’s initial filing and the annual certification of audit.

AB 128, Statutes of Nevada Chapter 409 (effective October 1, 2007) requires that all wholesalers or manufacturers who employ a person to sell or market a drug, medicine, chemical, device, or appliance in Nevada must comply with certain requirements regarding their marketing practices. On January 30, 2008, regulations promulgated by the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy to implement AB 128 became effective.

To be deemed compliant, the form must be received by the Board’s office by 5:00 p.m. P.S.T. on June 1st of every year. Mail postmarked by June 1st each year will be deemed to be compliant even if it is received later than June 1st. Forms dated prior to May 1 will be deemed non-compliant.

The annual certification period is from 5/1 through 4/30 each year.

You should indicate on each document attached to the form the number of the item for which the document is being submitted.

Please clearly indicate on any document submitted with the form any claim that the document is confidential or proprietary business information subject to the disclosure protections of Section 1, subsection 4(d) of AB 128.

Because the definition of “drug” and “medicine” under Nevada law (NRS 639.007) includes both prescription drugs and OTC medicines, manufacturers and wholesalers of both prescription drugs and OTC medicines are required to comply with AB 128. You do not need to complete a Compliance Form or otherwise comply with AB 128 if any of the following apply to your company:

Your company does not sell or market a drug, medicine, chemical, device or appliance in Nevada.

The only product or products you market or sell in Nevada are food, aspirin, or effervescent saline analgesics. See NRS 639.007(3).

The Board of Pharmacy will also be providing a compilation of the information received to the Governor’s Office and the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau.

Please only submit the required compliance pages and not the pages of the text of assembly bill 128 or regulations as adopted by the Board of Pharmacy.
