Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Pharmacy. Sets forth the definitions, restrictions, and requirements for registration of pharmacy technicians. This bill distinguishes between pharmacy interns and pharmacy technicians and clarifies the duties that may be performed only by a pharmacist or a pharmacy intern while engaged in obtaining the practical experience required for licensure as a pharmacist. "Supervision" is defined as the direction and control by a pharmacist who is physically present in the pharmacy or in the facility in which the pharmacy is located and available for immediate oral communication regarding the activities of a pharmacy intern or a pharmacy technician. Pharmacists are authorized to determine the maximum number of pharmacy technicians to supervise; however, no pharmacist can supervise more than four pharmacy technicians at one time. A second enactment provides a modified grandfather clause by not requiring registration of pharmacy technicians until six months after the effective date of the Board of Pharmacy's final regulations. The Board must adopt final regulations for the registration of pharmacy technicians by July 1, 2003.
