Change licensure requirements for remote dispensing pharmacies and verification requirements for pharmacists

LB 577 would have changed Nebraska's rules for pharmacies that dispense prescriptions remotely (without a physical storefront). It required remote pharmacies to be at least 10 miles from the nearest physical pharmacy, mandated live video connections between remote sites and supervising pharmacists, and required pharmacists to visit remote sites at least once monthly. The bill also updated how pharmacists verify prescription accuracy when technicians assist, allowing remote verification only under specific conditions like live video or in-person checks at the dispensing location. However, the bill was withdrawn on February 7, 2025, and did not become law.
