Bill > HB1675

This bill establishes specific ratios for pharmacy technicians to licensed pharmacists in Mississippi, with a maximum of five technicians per pharmacist for pharmacies open to the public and twelve technicians per pharmacist for those not open to the public. The State Board of Pharmacy is authorized to create rules to enforce these ratios but cannot implement stricter limits than what is outlined in the bill. The bill also clarifies that "supportive personnel," who perform non-dispensing and non-clinical tasks like cashiering or inventory management, are not counted towards these technician-to-pharmacist ratios. However, pharmacies can exceed these ratios if the additional technicians are nationally certified, provided the pharmacist-in-charge maintains documentation of their certification. The bill also brings forward existing sections of Mississippi law related to the regulation of pharmacy practice and the registration of pharmacy technicians.
