Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE; AMENDING A PROVISION OF THE PHARMACY ACT TO REMOVE THE PROHIBITION AGAINST NON-PHARMACISTS' USE OF THE WORDS "APOTHECARY", "APOTHECARY SHOP" AND OTHER WORDS OF SIMILAR IMPORT AND PHARMACY-RELATED INSIGNIAS OR DEVICES ON SIGNS OR ADVERTISEMENTS.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pharmacy Act to remove the prohibition against non-pharmacists using the words "apothecary", "apothecary shop", and other pharmacy-related terms or insignias on signs or advertisements. The existing law requires that only licensed pharmacists or pharmacies can use these terms or sell certain drugs at retail. The bill seeks to lift this restriction, allowing non-pharmacists to use these words and insignias, while maintaining the requirement that only licensed pharmacists can dispense certain drugs.
