Relating to authorizing the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate a legislative rule relating to pharmacists.
HB 4313 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy to establish a specific regulatory rule (15 CSR 16) concerning pharmacists. This rule was previously modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and refilled in the State Register. The bill formally approves the rule, allowing it to take effect as part of state regulations governing pharmacy practice. The rule directly affects pharmacists by setting the standards they must follow under state law.
