Bill Summary
This bill relates to the investigation and remediation of infractions at compounding facilities (facility) engaging in the compounding of nonsterile preparations. The bill requires an inspector employed by the board of pharmacy (board) who discovers during the course of an inspection that a facility engaging in the compounding of nonsterile preparations is out of compliance with the United States pharmacopeia general chapter 795 to notify the pharmacist in charge of the infraction. If an inspector discovers at a subsequent inspection that the infraction has not been corrected, the bill requires the inspector to provide comprehensive instruction regarding the infraction and the correction of the infraction to the pharmacist in charge. If an inspector discovers at a third inspection that an infraction has not been corrected, the bill requires the inspector to prescribe mandatory education for the correction of the infraction to the pharmacist in charge. The bill allows the board to impose a single fee of not more than $500, adjusted for inflation, on a facility that fails to correct an infraction as provided in the bill. The bill makes records relating to the investigation and remediation of infractions pursuant to the bill confidential records that are not subject to examination by the public.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a tiered system for addressing non-compliance at compounding pharmacies that prepare non-sterile medications, specifically concerning the standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia General Chapter 795. Initially, if an inspector finds a violation, the pharmacist in charge will be notified and required to correct it. If the issue persists during a follow-up inspection, the inspector will provide detailed instructions on how to fix the problem. Should the infraction remain uncorrected after a third inspection, the pharmacist in charge will be mandated to undergo specific educational training. If the compounding facility still fails to correct the infraction after these steps, the board of pharmacy can impose a single fee of up to $500, which will be adjusted for inflation, and this fee is the only penalty the board can levy for this specific violation, though it does not prevent other legal actions like lawsuits. Furthermore, all records related to these investigations and corrections will be kept confidential and not accessible to the public.
