The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public
comments on proposed changes to the Pharmacy - General Rules rule set.
The proposed revisions include updates to improve ease of reading and comply with current drafting
standards, new definitions, the removal of outdated language concerning training required to renew a
controlled substance license, establishing a process for the board to approve entities to inspect
pharmacies that compound under good manufacturing practice for finished pharmaceuticals, updates to
the adopted United States Pharmacopeia Convention standards, and clarification of inspection
requirements for pharmacies that engage in compounding. New rules are proposed concerning
telehealth services; a pharmacist ordering and administering qualified immunizations; a pharmacist
ordering and administering qualified laboratory tests and dispensing, without a prescription, an antiviral
drug based on the test result; and a pharmacist prescribing a hormonal contraceptive patch, a self-
administered hormonal contraceptive, an emergency contraceptive, or a vaginal ring hormonal
contraceptive.
