HB 757 -- Pharmacy

Sponsor:  Shoemyer

This bill revises laws pertaining to the practice of pharmacy.
The bill:

(1)  Removes the limitation which requires temporary license
holders to practice in locations approved by the State Board of
Pharmacy under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist;

(2)  Allows the board to file complaints with the Administrative
Hearing Commission against licensees for personal use or
consumption of any unprescribed controlled substance;

(3)  Redefines the term "pharmacy" as any location where the
practice of pharmacy occurs or these activities are offered or
provided by a pharmacist;

(4)  Requires all activities relating to prescriptions or drug
orders to occur at the pharmacy.  This requirement does not bar
the transfer of a prescription or drug order if done so by a
patient or the patient's authorized agent; and

(5)  Creates a new classification of license to be known as
Class J:  Shared Services.
