What is the initial licensure fee for wholesale distributors?

The initial licensure fee for wholesale distributors being set at $50 reflects the regulatory framework established to ensure that distributors comply with the necessary standards and practices for handling pharmaceutical products. This fee plays a role in the state's processes for evaluating and managing distribution operations, which are essential for maintaining safety in the pharmaceutical supply chain. By charging a fee, the government can fund the administration of licensing, inspections, and the overall regulatory processes that help protect public health. In this context, a fee of $50 aligns with typical costs associated with initial applications and is intended to be accessible while supporting the regulatory functions.
