What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a licensed pharmacist must renew his or her license every

two years. An applicant for renewal of a pharmacist license must submit proof that

he or she has completed 30 hours of continuing education within the two-year period

immediately preceding the date of his or her application. This bill allows

pharmacists to meet up to 10 hours of the continuing education requirement for each

two-year period by volunteering at a free and charitable clinic.
