75. RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE DONATED MEDICATIONS FROM ALKERMES, INC., OTSUKA AMERICA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., JANSSEN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., AND NEUROCRINE BIOSCIENCES, INC. Resolution to accept the donated medications from Alkermes, Inc., Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc., Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. These medications are donated at no cost to Maricopa County Correctional Health Services (CHS) from these companies. CHS uses these medications to treat patients who benefit from these pharmaceuticals. By creating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to receive a combination of Long-Acting Injectable (LAI) antipsychotic medications as well as oral medications to combat Tardive dyskinesia medications free-of-charge, CHS will be able to continue administering these treatments, initiate therapy, and stabilize patients who may benefit the most. 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-26-26-002-X-00)
