Pharmacy technician-to-pharmacist ratio requirements; establish for licensed pharmacies.

SB 2552 establishes specific pharmacy technician-to-pharmacist ratio requirements for all licensed pharmacies in Mississippi. Public pharmacies must maintain no more than 5 technicians per pharmacist on duty, while non-public pharmacies must maintain no more than 12 technicians per pharmacist. The bill excludes non-dispensing staff (like cashiers or administrators) from the ratio calculation and allows pharmacies to exceed the ratio if all additional technicians hold nationally recognized certifications. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
