Cutler Legislation to Expand Cancer and Prescription Drug Repository Passes House

June 3, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Bryan Cutler (R-Peach Bottom) celebrated the passage of House Bill 69 today, by a unanimous vote.

House Bill 69 would expand upon the existing Cancer and Prescription Drug Repository Program to allow both healthcare facilities and individuals to donate prescription drugs (other than cancer drugs) to the program. The program will ensure safety by requiring donated drugs to meet strict criteria before being accepted under the program. Participation in the program will remain voluntary.

“This legislation builds on the success of Act 14 of 2008, which created the Cancer and Prescription Drug Repository Program, which helped low-income cancer patients receive access to life-saving medications,” said Cutler. “House Bill 69 expands on the program and is based on similar enacted laws from 44 other states for the donation and reuse of applicable prescription drugs. This is a bill that will help many Pennsylvanians. I am hopeful the Senate will act on this bipartisan legislation soon.”

House Bill 69 now heads to the Senate, where it will be assigned to a committee.
