What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, pharmacies at certain locations, including health care facilities, health care practitioners’ offices, correctional facilities such as jails and state prisons, and juvenile justice facilities, may be operated as remote dispensing sites, in which case a pharmacist is not required to be present at the pharmacy but must supervise it remotely. Current law allows the Pharmacy Examining Board to promulgate rules governing pharmacies operated as remote dispensing sites, which may exempt pharmacies operated as remote dispensing sites at these locations from rules that apply to other pharmacies.
This bill eliminates the restrictions on the facilities at which pharmacies may be operated as remote dispensing sites and instead refers to them as remotely supervised pharmacies, thereby allowing any pharmacy to be operated as a remotely supervised pharmacy if the pharmacist complies with the board’s rules.
