• Schuette, Arwood, Hune Propose Legislation to Strengthen Oversight of Compounding Pharmacies in Wake of Michigan Meningitis Deaths September 19, 2013
LANSING -
Attorney General Bill Schuette, Steve Arwood, Director, Department of Licensing
and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), and Senator Joe Hune (R-Hamburg) today proposed
new legislation to strengthen oversight of compounding pharmacies.
The announcement follows a comprehensive review of existing state regulations
and statutes in the wake of the meningitis outbreak linked to
New England Compounding Center (NECC),
a now-defunct Massachusetts company, which allegedly distributed tainted steroid
injections to patients at clinics in four Michigan counties: Genesee,
Livingston, Macomb and Grand Traverse.
