Bill > LB697

This bill makes several changes to Nebraska's Pharmacy Practice Act, primarily focusing on the composition of the Board of Pharmacy, compounding regulations, and delegated dispensing permits. The bill increases the Board of Pharmacy membership from five to eight members, specifically adding one pharmacy technician and expanding the number of public members to two. It updates compounding standards by referencing the United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary as of January 1, 2023, and clarifies rules for compounding drugs, including restrictions on compounding certain types of medications. The bill also modifies delegated dispensing permits for public health clinics, allowing prescriptions to be written by practitioners licensed in Nebraska and working in affiliation with a public health clinic under a delegated dispensing permit. These changes aim to enhance pharmacy practice oversight, ensure safe medication compounding, and provide more flexible dispensing options for public health clinics while maintaining strict safety and labeling requirements.
