SB 253 - Under current law, the Board of Pharmacy may issue letters of reprimand, censure, or warning to any pharmacist licensed, registered, or with a permit in the state for any violations that could result in disciplinary action. Under this act, the Board may enter into a voluntary compliance agreement with a pharmacist to ensure or promote compliance with current law and the rules of the Board, in lieu of disciplinary action. The agreement shall be a public record, and the time limitation set forth under current law for commencing a disciplinary proceeding shall be tolled while an agreement authorized under this act is in effect.
This act is identical to a provision contained in SS/HB 219 (2019), HB 257 (2019), SCS/HB 705 (2019), and SB 514 (2019).
