Bill > LB1211

This bill amends the Automated Medication Systems Act to establish new requirements for pharmacies operating automated medication systems, which are machines that store and dispense medications. Specifically, it allows these systems to be operated in connection with a pharmacy located on property owned or leased by the pharmacy, whether inside or outside the building, and requires the pharmacist in charge to annually license these systems. The bill outlines an application process for licensure, including a fee and an inspection by the Division of Public Health, and mandates that the pharmacist in charge develop policies for the system's operation, supervision, and medication verification before dispensing. It also ensures that medications dispensed from these systems meet labeling requirements and that pharmacist care is offered, while prohibiting the dispensing of controlled substances and exempting long-term care facilities from these new rules.
