JIMMIE'S LAW
Promoting Medication Safety & Patient Protection
Inspired by Jimmie Wilson's Story
What is Jimmie's Law?
One moment changed everything - after surviving drug-induced liver injury, Jimmie now works to advance legislation to prevent similar, avoidable harm.
Jimmie’s Law is The JADA Foundation’s public safety initiative dedicated to strengthening medication safety, pharmacy accountability, and patient protection through education and responsible legislative engagement

Safety
Strengthening Kentucky's pharmaceutical drug safety requires expanding the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy's oversight, requiring permits for terminal distributors, enhancing inspection authority, mandating adverse event reporting for compounded drugs, further regulating compounding standards, restricting improper drug sourcing, and expanding enforcement tools to protect public health and patient safety.
The JADA Foundation supports current legislative measures designed as a meaningful step toward strengthening pharmaceutical oversight, enhancing compounding and distribution safeguards, and improving adverse event reporting to better protect patients and promote medication safety across the Commonwealth.
