Bill > HB1016

This bill makes numerous technical amendments to South Dakota's pharmacy laws, primarily focusing on updating definitions, licensing requirements, and regulatory provisions for pharmacists, pharmacies, and drug distributors. Key provisions include updating definitions for drugs and drug-related terms, modifying requirements for pharmacy and pharmacist licensing (such as application fees, renewal processes, and conditions for license suspension or revocation), establishing new rules for remote pharmacies, and increasing various licensing fees. The bill also repeals several existing sections of pharmacy-related law, potentially streamlining and modernizing the regulatory framework. Notably, the bill allows for increased fees for various pharmacy licenses, with most fees capped at specific amounts (such as $200-$250 for pharmacy and wholesale drug distributor licenses). The legislation also includes provisions for handling changes in pharmacy ownership, maintaining professional standards, and ensuring proper pharmaceutical practices. The bill appears to be a comprehensive update to pharmacy regulations in South Dakota, aimed at improving oversight and adapting to current pharmaceutical industry practices.
