Bill > SB2476

This bill authorizes the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy to create an "alternative-to-discipline program" for pharmacists and other licensed pharmacy professionals who are struggling with substance abuse or mental health conditions. This program would allow these individuals to receive treatment and support instead of facing formal disciplinary actions, provided their participation is voluntary and initiated before any disciplinary hearing. The program would require licensees to potentially contribute to the costs of their treatment, counseling, or education, and all records and proceedings related to their involvement would be kept confidential, exempt from public disclosure under the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983.
