Allows pharmacy technicians to practice in any pharmacy under the supervision of a pharmacist
This bill allows registered pharmacy technicians to work in any pharmacy under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. It clarifies that technicians can assist with tasks like preparing and dispensing drugs only when those tasks do not require professional judgment, which must remain the responsibility of the pharmacist. The law requires pharmacies to ensure technicians have received proper training before they begin assisting and defines supervision as the pharmacist staying in the immediate area to authorize and evaluate the technician's work.
