Del. Code tit. 16, § 4742

Legislative findings and intent; construction of this subchapter

Known as the Safe Internet Pharmacy Act

The act spans §§ 16-4741 to 16-4745 (5 sections).

76 Del

The General Assembly has determined that the sale and delivery of prescription drugs by internet sites which are not licensed pharmacies and which dispense prescription drugs to patients without the existence of a bona fide patient-practitioner relationship constitutes an extreme danger to the safety and welfare of Delaware residents. The General Assembly has also determined that existing laws are not sufficiently punitive to deter these internet sites, and the unscrupulous practitioners and pharmacists who help them, from unlawfully selling and delivering prescription drugs to the residents of this State. The intent of this subchapter is to completely stop these rogue internet pharmacies from delivering prescription drugs into this State and, therefore, the provisions of this subchapter shall be liberally construed to effect its remedial purpose.
