What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Generally, under current law, no person may engage in the practice of pharmacy

unless the person is licensed as a pharmacist. This bill creates an exception to this

prohibition for a person who is providing services as directed, supervised, and

inspected by a pharmacist, subject to any rules promulgated by the Pharmacy

Examining Board.

The bill also specifically allows such a person acting under a pharmacist, as well

as a pharmacy student who has completed at least two years of pharmacy studies and

a person who has completed pharmacy studies but whose application for licensure

as a pharmacist is pending with the board, to engage in remote dispensing of

prescribed drugs.
