Bill > HB2733

This bill makes several changes related to the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy, including clarifying definitions of unethical and unprofessional conduct, allowing for continued operation of a pharmacy under its existing permit during a change of ownership if certain conditions are met, and modifying renewal procedures for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Specifically, it updates the definition of unethical conduct to include failing to notify the board of a change of ownership, management, or pharmacist in charge, and it clarifies that pharmacies can deliver prescription medications to a patient's residence, hospital, long-term care facility, workplace, or another designated physical address where the patient or their agent is available, unless prohibited by federal law. The bill also allows pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to complete their continuing education requirements after submitting a renewal application and paying the fee, as long as it's done before their license expires for that renewal cycle. Additionally, it expands the list of prohibited acts to include wholesaling or distributing certain drugs and devices without a valid board-issued permit.
