Bill > H0200

This bill amends and updates various provisions of Idaho's pharmacy law to modernize and clarify regulations surrounding pharmacy practice. It makes numerous changes, including revising definitions, updating licensure and registration requirements, establishing new standards for prescription drug orders, compounding, and sterile drug preparation, and adding provisions related to hazardous drug handling. Key provisions include creating more detailed requirements for pharmacist prescribing, establishing minimum facility standards for drug outlets, mandating specific recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and defining new standards for prescription drug labeling and delivery. The bill also adds provisions for tracking controlled substance prescriptions, establishes guidelines for drug product substitution, and updates rules for nonresident pharmacists practicing in Idaho. The changes aim to enhance patient safety, improve pharmacy practice standards, and provide more comprehensive oversight of pharmaceutical services in the state. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will null and void existing pharmacy board rules on the same date, allowing for a complete transition to the new regulatory framework.
