Bill > A02604

This bill amends the education law to prohibit publicly traded pharmacies with twenty or more stores in New York state from establishing or enforcing quotas for duties performed by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, such as the number of prescriptions filled, services rendered, programs offered, or revenue obtained. The bill defines "quota" and requires chain community pharmacies to register with the state. It provides exceptions, allowing pharmacies to establish policies and procedures to assess competency and performance, as well as set fixed numbers related to revenue or patient care quality, as long as they are not based on the specific duties prohibited. The bill also allows the use of performance metrics required by state or federal regulators, as long as they do not measure the prohibited duties.
