Bill > S0278

This bill makes several changes to pharmacy regulations, including increasing the number of registered pharmacy technicians a licensed pharmacist can supervise, revising the composition of the Board of Pharmacy to include more pharmacists from different practice settings and consumer members, and authorizing pharmacists to administer meningococcal and shingles vaccines under certain circumstances, in addition to the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines they can already administer. It also requires written prescriptions for controlled substances to be legibly dated in a specific format, either numerical (month/day/year) or with the month written out in full, and ensures that the quantity of the drug is noted in both text and numbers on the prescription.
