State Board of Pharmacy - Renewal Notices - Electronic Means

HB 565 requires the Maryland State Board of Pharmacy to send renewal notices for licenses, permits, and registrations to pharmacy professionals (including pharmacists, pharmacies, and pharmacy technicians) via email by default, rather than first-class mail. Licensees, permit holders, or registrants may request paper mail if they prefer. The bill updates existing law to specify that electronic notices must include the expiration date, renewal deadline, and fee amount, with paper mail sent if an electronic notice bounces or if the recipient requests it. This change applies to all pharmacy-related renewals under Maryland's Health Occupations code.
