HB 955 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

MS Pharmacy Practice Act; extend repealer on.

HB 955 extends the expiration date for Mississippi's Pharmacy Practice Act from 2023 to July 1, 2028, ensuring existing pharmacy regulations remain in effect. It reenacts the core provisions of the Pharmacy Practice Act (sections 73-21-71 through 73-21-129), which govern pharmacy operations, licensure, and patient safety standards. The bill also makes minor grammatical corrections to specific sections without altering substantive requirements. This directly affects pharmacists, pharmacy boards, and patients by maintaining current practice rules and disciplinary procedures for violations related to patient care. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
