HB 2538 Nonresident pharmacies; registration.
Introduced by: S. Chris Jones | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Health; registration of nonresident pharmacies; summary proceedings. Provides that the Board of Pharmacy will only register nonresident pharmacies that maintain a current unrestricted registration or license as a pharmacy in a jurisdiction that may lawfully deliver prescription drugs directly or indirectly to consumers within the United States. Such registration of nonresident pharmacies shall be immediately suspended, without a hearing, upon receipt of documentation by the licensing agency in the jurisdiction where a nonresident pharmacy registered with the Board is located that it has had its license or registration as a pharmacy revoked or suspended by that agency or that the nonresident pharmacy no longer holds a valid unexpired license or registration as a pharmacy. Further, the Board may summarily suspend the registration of any nonresident pharmacy without a hearing, simultaneously with the institution of proceedings for a hearing, if it finds that there is a substantial danger to the public health or safety that warrants such action. A nonresident pharmacy with a suspended registration shall not ship, mail, or deliver any Schedule II through VI drugs into the Commonwealth unless reinstated by the Board.
