Requires pharmacies to provide 90 days notice to municipality prior to closure.
This bill requires pharmacies in New Jersey to provide written notice to the local municipality (city or town government) at least 90 days before closing. It applies to all pharmacies physically located within a municipality, in addition to existing requirements for notifying the State Board of Pharmacy and federal Drug Enforcement Administration. The key provision mandates that pharmacy owners or their authorized representatives must send this notice directly to the municipality's governing body 90 days prior to the planned closure date. This change aims to give communities advance warning of pharmacy closures to help residents plan for continued access to medications.
