H 286 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

PHARMACISTS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding board membership and certain qualifications.

Idaho's H 286 amends pharmacy board rules to increase the board size from five to seven members. It requires one member to be a certified pharmacy technician with specific qualifications (three years' experience, current certification, and Idaho residency), while maintaining requirements for public and pharmacist members. The bill also mandates the board include at least one member with community pharmacy experience and one with hospital pharmacy experience. This law, effective July 1, 2025, directly affects the Idaho Board of Pharmacy and its appointed members.
