The bill amends Section 34-23-151 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which pertains to the Board of Pharmacy and the operation of compounding pharmacies. The key change involves the supervision of pharmacy technicians during the compounding process. The previous requirement that there be no more than three technicians per pharmacist has been deleted. Instead, the bill introduces a new provision stating that the number of pharmacy technicians must comply with the ratios for supervision as established by the Board of Pharmacy's rules.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the responsibilities of pharmacists in the compounding process, including verifying prescriptions, approving components of compounded products, and ensuring the proper maintenance of equipment. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
