A legislative rule is a regulation that has the force of law, and the Board of Pharmacy is the state agency responsible for overseeing pharmacists and pharmacies. The bill specifically refers to a rule filed on July 24, 2025, and subsequently modified and refiled on October 22, 2025, to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee. This rule, identified as 15 CSR 10, pertains to pharmacist recovery networks, which are programs designed to help pharmacists who may be struggling with substance abuse or other issues that could affect their ability to practice safely. The authorization granted by this bill allows the Board of Pharmacy to officially adopt and enforce these provisions, ensuring a framework for supporting pharmacists in recovery and maintaining public safety.
