Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Pharmacy Practice Act; to amend section 38-2867.03, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to allow a physician assistant prescribing under a collaborative agreement to enter into a practice agreement with a pharmacist; and to repeal the original section.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to allow a physician assistant (PA) who is already prescribing medications under a collaborative agreement with a physician to also enter into a practice agreement with a pharmacist. A practice agreement is a formal written arrangement between a pharmacist and a healthcare provider that outlines specific protocols for how the pharmacist can provide pharmaceutical care, such as monitoring or initiating certain therapies. This change expands the types of healthcare providers with whom pharmacists can collaborate, specifically enabling PAs who are prescribing under a collaborative agreement to engage in these practice agreements, which will require notification to the relevant licensing boards and adherence to specific signing and review requirements.
