The bill presented is an act related to the Board of Pharmacy and compounding pharmacies in Alabama. It amends Section 34-23-151 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which pertains to the responsibilities and practices of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in drug compounding. The bill introduces changes to the supervision ratios of pharmacy technicians while compounding. Previously, the law stated that there should be no more than three technicians per pharmacist during compounding. The new bill removes this specific ratio and instead states that the number of pharmacy technicians shall comply with the ratios for supervision as provided by the rules of the Board of Pharmacy.

The bill also reiterates the responsibilities of pharmacists, which include verifying prescriptions, approving or rejecting components of compounded products, reviewing compounding records to prevent errors, ensuring the maintenance and cleanliness of equipment, and restricting the vicinity of drug compounding operations to authorized personnel only. The act is scheduled to become effective on June 1, 2024. The document concludes with certifications from the President and Presiding Officer of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Secretary of the Senate, confirming the passage of the act in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
