Bill Summary
This bill requires pharmacy permit holders, or their authorized legal representatives, to provide written notice to the local municipality in which the pharmacy is located at least 90 days prior to an anticipated pharmacy closure.
AI Summary
This bill requires pharmacy permit holders or their authorized legal representatives to provide a written notice at least 90 days before closing a pharmacy, and this notice must be sent to three specific entities: the governing board of the municipality where the pharmacy is physically located, the State Board of Pharmacy Office of Drug Control, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The bill mandates that the Board of Pharmacy will create the necessary rules and regulations to implement this requirement, following the guidelines of the Administrative Procedure Act. The purpose appears to be ensuring that local communities and relevant authorities have advance warning of pharmacy closures, which could potentially impact local healthcare access. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, and applies to all pharmacies in the jurisdiction of New Jersey.
