The bill reenacts numerous sections of the Mississippi Code related to pharmacy practice, including provisions about the State Board of Pharmacy's composition, licensing requirements for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and home medical equipment suppliers, and regulations surrounding prescription monitoring, drug dispensing, and product selection. The bill also makes minor grammatical corrections and ensures that the Prescription Monitoring Program continues to track controlled substance prescriptions. Notably, the bill includes technical amendments such as correcting the spelling of "ensure" in place of "insure" and making small grammatical adjustments. The legislation maintains existing frameworks for pharmacy regulation, licensing, and oversight, with the primary purpose of extending the current legal structure for pharmacy practice in Mississippi.
