Directs the Health Commissioner to establish, maintain and publicize a toll-free number to provide resource and referral information on pharmaceutical companies' free drug programs for persons who demonstrate financial hardship; in other words, the pharmaceutical companies' compassionate programs will be publicized. Such information must include, but not be limited to, available drugs, participating pharmaceutical companies, application procedures for each of the pharmaceutical companies and dispensing methods. The Commissioner may contract with one or more public or private organizations to administer this resource and referral program.
