Bill Summary
Relative to licensure for specialty practice pharmacies. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a new type of pharmacy license called a "specialty practice pharmacy" within the state of Massachusetts. The bill allows the Board of Pharmacy to register and issue permits to specialty medical practices to operate their own on-site pharmacies, which would be considered retail pharmacies under the law. The specialty practice pharmacies would be required to employ at least one pharmacy technician and a supervising pharmacist who would oversee the operations and review them in person at least once a week. The Board of Pharmacy, in consultation with the Department of Public Health, would be responsible for promulgating regulations governing the operation of these specialty practice pharmacies.
