Bill > SB2623

This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes related to licensing, primarily focusing on the renewal and restoration of licenses, certificates of registration, and permits for pharmacists, wholesale prescription drug distributors, pharmacies, and pharmacy technicians. Specifically, it clarifies that the board of pharmacy has the power to issue and renew certificates of registration for registered pharmacy technicians, and it updates renewal requirements for licenses, certificates of registration, and permits to be biennial, occurring on or before December 31 of each odd-numbered year. The bill also modifies the restoration process for forfeited licenses, certificates, and permits, allowing for restoration within three years with payment of fees and proof of compliance with continuing education requirements, with a specific provision for pharmacy technician certificates of registration that limits the required proof of continuing education to the single biennium immediately preceding the restoration application. Additionally, it changes the validity period for pharmacy technician certificates of registration to be valid through December 31 of each odd-numbered year, removing a previous provision that stated the registration would lapse at that time requiring a new registration.
