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.
