AN ACT To amend Code Section 26-4-82 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to duties requiring professional judgment and responsibilities of a licensed pharmacist, so as to increase the pharmacist to pharmacy technician ratio for providing direct supervision at any time; to provide certain requirements; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary

The bill also specifies that if a pharmacist is supervising 4 technicians, at least 2 of the technicians must be certified, and if supervising 3 technicians, at least 1 must be certified. No certification is required for pharmacists supervising 1 or 2 technicians. The bill allows for an application to increase the ratio further for hospital pharmacies.
