30. DONATION FROM ALKERMES, INC. OTSUKA AMERICA PHARMACEUTICALS INC. AND JANSSEN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC FOR LONG ACTING INJECTABLES (LAIS) Accept the donations from Alkermes, Inc., Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for Long-Acting Injectables (LAIs). These LAIs are donated at no cost to Maricopa County Correctional Health Services (CHS) from these companies. CHS uses LAI medications to treat patients who benefit from these pharmaceuticals. By creating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to receive LAI medications free-of-charge, CHS will be able to continue administering these treatments, initiate therapy, and stabilize patients who may benefit the most, and possibly reduce criminal recidivism. Donation funds are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this action requested does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-26-25-001-X-00)
