The Legislative Assembly declares that program operators providing covered entities with drug take-back program services, including the safe and secure collection, transportation and disposal of covered drugs, is in the best interests of the public. Therefore, the Legislative Assembly declares its intent that participating in drug take-back programs as required by ORS § 459A.200 to 459A.266 shall be exempt from state antitrust laws. The Legislative Assembly further declares its intent to provide immunity for participating in drug take-back programs as required by ORS § 459A.200 to 459A.266 from federal antitrust laws. This section does not authorize any person to engage in activities or to conspire to engage in activities that constitute per se violations of state or federal antitrust laws that are not authorized under ORS § 459A.200 to 459A.266.
