MINOR
This bill was amended to clarify that pharmacies must notify customers only when permanently discontinuing services, rather than temporarily closing. The amendment also expanded the list of alternative pharmacies to include all five nearest pharmacies, regardless of ownership type, making the notification requirements more comprehensive for customers.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed from covering any pharmacy discontinuance to specifically covering permanent discontinuance, and the requirement for listing alternative pharmacies was broadened to include all five nearest pharmacies without the previous restriction on independent ownership.
REQUIREMENT
Changed notification trigger from general discontinuance to permanent discontinuance only
Updated alternative pharmacy listing requirement to include all five nearest pharmacies without the two independent ownership restriction
