What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, oxygen intended for medical use is a prescription drug that may generally be dispensed to a patient only by a pharmacist licensed by the Pharmacy Examining Board (board) or by a physician or other authorized practitioner. This bill establishes a licensure program to be administered by the board for persons that dispense medical oxygen directly to patients. Under the bill, such a person, if licensed by the board, is exempt from pharmacist licensing requirements for activities that fall within the scope of the license.
Under the bill, subject to certain exceptions, any person that provides home medical oxygen directly to patients must be licensed by the board. The bill requires the board to grant a home medical oxygen provider license to a person applying for the license that pays the applicable initial licensure fee and meets any other requirements established by the board by rule.
