Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 3081--B Cal. No. 461 2021-2022 Regular Sessions IN SENATE January 27, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sens. SALAZAR, BIAGGI, BRISPORT, GIANARIS, JACKSON, KRUEG- ER, LANZA, REICHLIN-MELNICK, SANDERS -- read twice and ordered print- ed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Consumer Protection -- recommitted to the Committee on Consumer Protection in accordance with Senate Rule 6, sec. 8 -- reported favorably from said committee, ordered to first and second report, ordered to a third reading, amended and ordered reprinted, retaining its place in the order of third reading -- passed by Senate and delivered to the Assem- bly, recalled, vote reconsidered, restored to third reading, amended and ordered reprinted, retaining its place in the order of third read- ing AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to the price goug- ing of medicine The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section 2 396-rrr to read as follows: 3 § 396-rrr. Price gouging of medicine. 1. For the purposes of this 4 section, "drug subject to a shortage" shall mean any drug or medical 5 product intended for human use publicly reported as being subject to a 6 shortage by the U.S. food and drug administration on its website, 7 provided, however, that a drug or medical product shall only be consid- 8 ered a "drug subject to a shortage" during the period of time that such 9 drug or medical product is listed as being subject to a shortage on such 10 website. 11 2. No manufacturer, supplier, wholesaler, distributor or retail seller 12 of any drug subject to a shortage shall sell or offer to sell any such 13 drug subject to a shortage for an amount which represents an unconscion- 14 ably excessive price. 15 3. Whether a price is unconscionably excessive is a question of law 16 for the court. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD06581-05-2S. 3081--B 2 1 (a) The court's determination that a violation of this section has 2 occurred shall be based on any of the following factors: 3 (i) that the amount of the excess in price is unconscionably extreme; 4 (ii) that there was an exercise of unfair leverage or unconscionable 5 means; or 6 (iii) a combination of both factors in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of 7 this paragraph. 8 (b) In any proceeding commenced pursuant to subdivision four of this 9 section, prima facie proof that a violation of this section has occurred 10 shall include evidence that: 11 (i) the amount charged represents a gross disparity between the price 12 of the drug subject to a shortage which was the subject of the trans- 13 action and their value measured by the price at which such drug was sold 14 or offered for sale by the defendant in the usual course of business 15 immediately prior to the onset of the shortage; or 16 (ii) the amount charged grossly exceeded the price at which the same 17 or similar drug subject to a shortage was readily obtainable by other 18 purchasers in the trade area. 19 (c) A defendant may rebut a prima facie case with evidence that: 20 (i) the increase in the amount charged preserves the margin of profit 21 that the defendant received for the same drug subject to a shortage 22 prior to the onset of the shortage; or 23 (ii) additional costs not within the control of the defendant were 24 imposed on the defendant for the drug subject to a shortage. 25 4. Where a violation of this section is alleged to have occurred, the 26 attorney general may apply in the name of the People of the State of New 27 York to the supreme court within the judicial district in which such 28 violation is alleged to have occurred, on notice of five days, for an 29 order enjoining or restraining commission or continuance of the alleged 30 unlawful acts. In any such proceeding, the court shall impose a civil 31 penalty in an amount not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars per 32 violation or three times the gross receipts for the relevant drug 33 subject to the shortage, whichever is greater, and where appropriate, 34 order restitution to aggrieved parties. 35 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
