What’s in it

This bill relates to pharmacy practice. Division I of the bill eliminates the tech-check-tech program.33A. Division I eliminates the one-year registration limitation for a person in training to become a pharmacy technician and makes conforming terminology changes. Division I also amends provisions relating to the delegation of technical functions between a pharmacist and a pharmacy technician or pharmacy support person. Division II of the bill requires a drug compounding outsourcing facility seeking licensure in the state to have been inspected by the facility’s home state regulatory authority or other entity approved by the board in the two-year period immediately preceding the application, which inspection demonstrates compliance with federal current good manufacturing practices.

Read the full explanation

Division II also allows the board to recover from an outsourcing facility costs associated with conducting an inspection to satisfy the inspection requirement. Division III of the bill authorizes the board of pharmacy to share information collected relating to compounded human drug products with the United States food and drug administration (FDA) pursuant to any memorandum of understanding between the board of pharmacy and the FDA. Division IV of the bill codifies the provisions of 2011 Iowa Acts, chapter 63, section 36, relating to pharmacy pilot or demonstration research projects. The language in Division IV differs from these provisions by eliminating language limiting the projects to those based solely on prescription verification and by eliminating the requirement that the board report the approval or denial of projects to the chairpersons and ranking members of the joint appropriations subcommittee on health and human services.
