Relating to: the membership of the Pharmacy Examining Board.
SB 898 adds two registered pharmacy technicians to the Pharmacy Examining Board, which oversees pharmacy licensing in the state. The bill creates a new provision (15.405(9)(b)) requiring two members to be registered pharmacy technicians under Chapter 450, alongside existing members including five licensed pharmacists and two public members. This changes the board’s composition to include direct representation from pharmacy technicians, with initial appointments having staggered terms ending in 2028 and 2030. The bill does not alter pharmacy practice rules but adjusts board membership requirements.
